If you did something as drastic to the timeline such as killing Hitler, your boomer parents would never have been born and you would not exist. In fact almost no one younger than a certain age that exists today would be around. The world would be full of different people.

An event like WW2 directly or indirectly affected everyone on the planet. Prevent it from happening and your grandparents, if they meet at all, copulate at different times and in different circumstances. Even a slight change in timing and circumstances of conception can lead to a different soul being formed.

It's hard to imagine Marty McFly's mom getting knocked up at the exact same time, 3 times in a row, with a much more confident daddy McFly strutting around.

I hate parties.

I second the idea of the James Webb photos. The images are free and I got them professionally printed for reasonably cheap. They look awesome as a pair or 3-piece.

Ugh he was trying to investigate a bee problem we were having on our front porch and decided it would be worth-while to check out the bees from above. So, he climbed out my kids bedroom window onto the roof of the porch…. And when he thought bees were flying at him (he’s allergic!) he bounded into the bedroom window and snapped one of the tent poles.

I did a garden-themed room for my girl when she was small. Light blue with white clouds on the walls and ceiling. Used glow in the dark hobby paint to outline the clouds and added a bunch of glow star stickers. It looked freaking AWESOME at night! I would literally lay on the floor and just stare up "at the stars"

So, when we bought our house, one of the walls in my sons bedroom was already decorated with stars. It’s a dark blue background and tons of hand painted stars. It’s cute as hell!! We love space too so we decided to make it a theme. We got big planet stickers to put along the wall and also glow in the dark stars. We got him a night light projector that puts light stars all over. We also bought blue blackout curtains with silver stars on them. Over all super cute. More has been added- a astronaut poster and dress up clothes. We used to have a tent with stars but my husband broke it by accident.

Super cute theme and so much you can do to decorate. I’ll see if I can find a pic to share

>could we observe the past directly in some way

Yes. When we see something in deep space, light years away, we're observing that something's past, in real time.

If we look at a star that say, 100 light years away, we're watching that star as it existed 100 years ago. To see what's happening with that star at this moment in time, we'll have to wait 100 years, perhaps longer if that star is moving away from earth.
