Default But... how can we KNOW what is out there NOW?

Not at all. "Now" is non trivial. It's relative just like "where".
You ask, where is Omega Cen? It is appropriate to ask in return,
relative to what? The center of the galaxy? The sun? The earth?


All such comparisons must be relative to the location of the observer. This
does not require a center, nor an edge, nor a time.

Clear, Dark, Steady Skies!
(And considerate neighbors!!!)
