I have a theory I am kicking around. We take pictures of far away stars and we are seeing them as they looked sometimes a million years ago because that is how long it took the light to get here. What if we can capture some light rays that have been bouncing around the solar system but are very old and will show us how Earth or Mars looked a million years ago or older. I am no rocket scientist but I do enjoy astronomy, is there any way this idea could work? Let me know if you have any more ideas or you are a scientist and if this sounds feasible.

Thanks,
