astronomer see a star that is very far away but still very bright. What can she conclude about the star?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The conclusion is that.. you are looking into the past.. it WAS bright .. but dunno its condition now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's very Hot (at a certain point or duration of time)

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Ooops. Anyway, both of the above are correct. It was very *hot* in the past.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at first i might want to check if it moving or it might be close planet comet or meteor. A star would appear to be far more stationary.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

The question states that is is a very far away star...so there's no question as to what it is.
