> happening in real time
Not sure about calling this "real time". If you actually wanted to do something about it (like saving the poor, mysterious object), then any help you send will face a completely different situation from what we see now.

In the distance, there was another civilization that didn't have the technology to see us, or any other way to communicate with us. We also didn't have lasers or any other tech to send messages to them, other than travelling there (which would take some years), but we could see what was going there in almost real time.
Wouldn't the same still apply, even without the limitations of the speed of light?
