They had radios in the XIXth century and transcontinental broadcasting by the early XXth. Thank goodness for the ionosphere.

How to cast a wider net for tracking space junk
There are only so many hours of the day you can use to track orbital debris. Some scientists think they’ve found more hours.

what you believe are far away objects are but very small images displayed on a futuristic monitor, yes monitor, for you're being closely watched.
P.S.: Do you get the esoteric meaning of the above song? Who is the singer? Read the lyrics.
The Bible tells that the sky is a "raqia", akin to a mirror, is impervium-solid, a sea of glass mingled with fire.
Newly found Comet Leonard might become 2021’s brightest
earthsky.org...
Exciting news! A newly found comet might become 2021’s brightest comet. Astronomer Greg Leonard discovered the comet that now bears his name – C/2021 A1 (Leonard) – on January 3, 2021 at the Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona. Astronomers report that discovery images show a tail for the comet, suggesting we might see a nice tail as Comet Leonard draws closer to the Earth and sun. The comet is still far away, currently between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, heading inward. It’ll reach perihelion, its closest approach to the sun, around January 3, 2022. And so we’ll have a whole year to watch this comet get brighter, and brighter

The North Star changes because of the Earth's precession, so tell us Astronomers, not because it itself moves.
Rayleigh should also scatter reflected light in the Earth's atmosphere, and we shouldn't be seeing what NASA shows us, but rather a Neptune like, opaque blue ball.
Redshift and blueshift describe how light shifts toward shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (such as stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. The concept is key to charting the universe's expansion.

Rayleigh scattering (/ˈreɪli/ RAY-lee), named after the nineteenth-century British physicist Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt),[1] is the predominantly elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation. For light frequencies well below the resonance frequency of the scattering particle (normal dispersion regime), the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength.

Concerning Ceres, I corrected the post before your quoting it. Mars is not beyond the asteroid belt, I forgot what I had read as a child in that beloved encyclopaedia I received as an anniversary gift.
Please one question at a time.
In 1950, the Dutch astronomer J. H. Oort proposed that all comets come from an enormous spherical cloud of objects extending almost halfway to the nearest stars and only weakly bound by the Sun’s gravity. This cloud, now called the Oort cloud, is occasionally perturbed gravitationally as it moves through the Galaxy. Such disturbances hurl comets from the cloud into the inner solar system, where we can see them.

Halley's orbital period has varied between 74–79 years since 240 BC.[32][11] Its orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.967 (with 0 being a circle and 1 being a parabolic trajectory). The perihelion, the point in the comet's orbit when it is nearest the Sun, is just 0.6 AU.[37] This is between the orbits of Mercury and Venus. Its aphelion, or farthest distance from the Sun, is 35 AU (roughly the distance of Pluto).

The comets etc. are images. They're not really there. Beyond SkyTV there are waters.

I never said such a thing! I was confused by your red shift/distance discussion, so I tried to retort that while Ceres' color is grosso modo of a higher freq., being in the gray tones, than that of the yellowish Jupiter, still the former is, according to the common worldview closer than the latter.
Red shift means that waves emitted from far away come less frequently to the observer than they were sent at the source.
Your referencing the low quality officine of the Ministry of Truth show that 1) you're a millennial and 2) are but superficially acquainted with the Bible.
Render yourself the service of closing that pr0nhub tab in your browser, the one to the left, thank you.
