    Im not sure if you still watch the comments on these videos :) But I was thinking that if the planetary nebula are so short-lived, couldnt it have changed appearance since it was first discribed? And actually looked more like an owl then :P

    Most definitely yes. There are many cases of nebula being discovered and photographed a long time ago, and compared to todays photos, are quite different. If you search around the net, you will even find a short movie showing the growth of the Crab Nebula (not a planetary nebula, but supernova remnant). It's been thoroughly photographed over the decades for the last 100 years, and there was enough photos to put together into a short film showing it's growth. :) This is course is also true of galaxies, they would look very different to how we now see them, IF we could somehow instantly travel there, since they'd evolved over all that time.

    Depends on what kind of instruments they can use, but quite probably from millions of lightyears away the earth is not visible. The gas giants may be visible, but the smaller planets... not sure, it really depends on the instruments available. And of course, should they have sufficient instruments, they would only see the earth as it was some million years ago.

    People have talked about moving large asteroids. Could we, overextended (millions of years) periods, increase Earth's orbital velocity sufficiently to avoid being burned by a cooling Sol? ie, How much acceleration would be required per year? perhaps Moon could tug Earth moon system/ thrusters/ nukes, on moon surface. It might be possible to extend our stay here considerably. Perhaps we could even coalesce some plasma into a new moon/Star, . & launch earth beyond the Sol system.

    To be honest, when it comes to it, it would probably be easier just to evacuate a select group and fly to another planet. At the end of the day, all the stars will go out, then all the neutron stars and white dwarfs will turn to black holes, and then all those will turn to dust, time will stop and the universe will die. We've gotta go at some point.

    If shipping ppl, might have to start again by the time you finished * deeper gravity well, atmos, survivable accel, overcrowding * billions * v. long journey. nuke cannon on Moon to move Earth easier? IDK. The physics is fascinating. Imagine Moon as a donut(+t) distorting Earth's cone gravity well. If donut is moved, counter intuitively, Earth accels toward closer part of donut. is it easier to do than it 1st appears? struggling to work it out. +dark E adds 4cm p/y.. it's swimming with the tide

    Move Earth anyway. Using (plausibly speculative) methods above.. Eventually use Jupiter & Saturn for a gravity sling-shot out of the Solar system, we could pick up or even swap moons along the way.. With enough computation & time getting good initial conditions, we could make a trajectory that did more or less what we liked. Worth it for the view alone.. hot bright point; our artificial satellite star, Saturn giant in the Earth's soft blue sky. cocktails as waves roll in on a balmy shore.
