Light years of dust lanes obscure the view of distant stars in visible light. However, radio telescopes can penetrate the dust and can detect (in the x-ray and infrared spectra) the stars in the core of our galaxy.

Astronomers face challenges when observing distant stars primarily due to the vast distances involved, which can lead to light from these stars being faint and redshifted. Additionally, interstellar dust and gas can obscure their visibility, complicating detection. The Earth's atmosphere can also distort observations, making it harder to obtain clear images. However, advancements in technology, such as space telescopes, help mitigate some of these issues.
Since the beginning of astronomy. Astronomers are ALWAYS looking for new things.
When looking at a distant object, the pupil typically dilates, which allows more light to enter the eye. This process is controlled by the iris and helps improve visual acuity for distant vision. Additionally, the ciliary muscles relax, causing the lens to flatten, further aiding in focusing on objects far away. Overall, these adjustments help the eye to better see and interpret distant images.
When looking at a distant object, the ciliary muscles in the eye relax, causing the lens to flatten. This allows the light rays from the distant object to focus directly on the retina at the back of the eye, creating a clear image.

Astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars because while we have highly specialized telescopes, they are in constant contention with various other celestial bodies. In addition to this, the light of distant stars takes hundreds of thousands of years to reach us, making it impossible to get a current look at a distant star.

There are three main reasons for this phenomenon: 1). Those objects exist. 2). Technology has advanced to the level capable of identifying them. 3). Astronomers are looking for them.

Astronomers, looking at deep space photographs of the Universe.
Yes. Because they are so far away, the light from the stars takes a long time to reach us (other than our star, the sun, which takes 8 minutes for the light to get here.) That way, a star 8 lightyears away, will be seen as it was 8 years ago.
Proprioception
they help us "map out" the sky, and almost like sectioning off places so astronomers can say, "the star we are looking at resides in the Draco constellation" and all the other astronomers can have an understanding of the general area they should be looking at
Astronomers use the light spectrum of distant objects to determine the chemical composition of those objects. Each element on the period table gives off a different spectrum, and by looking through a spectrometer an astronomer can read the spectrum and figure out what that object is made up of to gain better understanding of our universe.
It work by looking in a distant look though the glass you can see the sun from where you are at.
yes
