Interesting.
Come to think of it, I have frequently photographed the place in space
where the Andromeda galaxy was two million years ago. :-)
And you've probably done it uphill, in the snow.

That reminds me of a NatGeo program about Area 51 (Groom Lake). When
the Lockheed A-12 spy plane was in development for the CIA Radar Cross
Section (RCS) testing was going on at the base. A mockup was mounted
on a pylon for the tests. Because the Soviets already has some spy
satellites and the CIA didn't want the Soviets to see the mockup they
removed the it from the pylon when a Soviet satellite was due to pass
overhead. At first the CIA didn't realize was that the Soviet
satellites could do infrared imaging. The shadow of the mockup was
cooler than the surrounding ground. The Soviets were able to discern
the mockup's outline from the infrared image of the shadow. Once the
CIA learned that the Soviets had an outline of the mockup they figured
out how it was obtained and then instituted thermal counter measures.
The Soviet photographs showed the place where the mockup was.
