Which would be nothing because Earth was in a different location 200 years ago.
This is the correct answer.
The Earth revolves around the sun in a regular pattern, so its position relative to the Sun would be more or less the same 200 years ago today, but the Sun, and therefore the entire solar system, orbits the center of the galaxy at about 150 miles per second, so the Earth would be waaaaaaaay over there 200 years ago.

maybe we can view the past with mirrors.
That is actually how all mirrors work. The image you see is of something that has already happened.

I think telescope is the word you’re looking for.
If a telescope can see far things and a microscope can see small things, wouldn’t a microscope also work? Bc far things appear small.

I'm old enough to remember a time when the SEC Rant had an entire page full of Ole Miss fans shitposting about LSU.
That time was daily since December 2025.

The only time I can recall this being brought up was in a star wars novel. When a planet was destroyed but since it was so far away when they looked at it with a telescope it was still there.

So if we could travel faster than the speed of light we could put mirrors out there at different distances and see whatever we wanted in the past?

Nothing that we know of can travel faster than the speed of light EXCEPT space, which weirdly can expand faster than the speed of light.

I’ve never thought about this. How long does it take our Solar System to make one complete Milky Way orbit?

Absolutely nothing. Neither you are the mirror have a light source so therefore you’re staring into the dark of space and seeing nothing in return.
Your very expensive experiment is a failure.

And take another 100 years for the image to return.
