You are seeing the star as it was 100 years ago, since the light has journeyed for 100 years before reaching the film of the camera that was used to capture the image.

Why are there no photos of the whole of your galaxy?
Because we have never traveled outside of our galaxy in order to look back at it and take a picture of it. It will be a long time, if ever, before we ever have an actual picture of our galaxy seeing as we are about 23 light years away from the edge of the galaxy. If we left today and traveled 35,000 mph (the rate of the fastest object ever made by man, the Voyager probe) to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, it would take around 456,400 years. So I wouldn't count on seeing a picture of our galaxy in our lifetime.

What happens when a star burns out?
Evan if a star burned out you wouldn't be able to tell from earth only because how ever many light years away it is its how many years back in time your seeing it at, because it is so far away in space. FOR EXAMPLE if a star was 1200 light years away your looking at it from earth 1200 years ago because it takes the light a long time to travel from space to earth.

He kept it in several places throughout the book. At first, it was greatly admired and he loved to look at the perfection of it, and he kept it in public. But as it began to change, he hid it away so that no one could see it, covered up in a locked room.
