0.19 light years, neither near nor far, light takes about 0.19 years, or roughly 69 days to travel that distance.
Therefore, the images observed by people are events that happened 69 days ago.
The reason we could observe this unidentified celestial body in such conditions is still thanks to the superior observational capabilities of the "South Pole Star" space telescope, coupled with the fact that the mass of this unidentified celestial body is truly enormous, causing the dim starlight around it to produce a fairly noticeable gravitational lensing effect.
The Mountain and Sea Battle Star, belonging to human civilization, has only one five-hundredth of its mass!
The main cause of the gravitational lensing effect is the distortion of space-time near a large mass, bending light passing close to the large mass. If a large mass lies on the straight line between the observer and the light source, the observer will see one or more images formed by the bending of light.
