Astronomers are anticipating the appearance of a “new star” triggered by an explosive event that could appear in the night sky anytime between now and September.
I’m in agreement with you, cause even with the eye/brain processing time, you still have the time for light to reflect off whatever you’re seeing and hit your eyes. So there’s definitely some delays.
I think the interesting part for me, is when the orders of magnitude make a difference on the human scale
The few milliseconds it takes light to reflect and my brain to process it is not really tangible, but knowing that this nova in OP occurred thousands of years ago and is just reaching out eyes now is worth noting, IMO.
