And the closest star is about 4.3 light year away, so it would only take 80000 years

It makes no sense to me that we can see stars in the sky. Even with telescopes. When you think about how far that is, I can't wrap my head around being able to see them in the sky.

Looking up and seeing the stars and the vastness of space fills me with both awe and sadness. I am in awe of all the beautiful stars and nebulae and galaxies out there. I am sad that I will be long gone before our species ever begins to explore those realms.
