Distance of stars

Everyone knows that light bends. How do we know that we aren't looking at our own sun's light thinking it's another star. Is it possible that light from the sun could be bending around a giant sphere until "wow" we can see it with our telescope? That's a bit extreme but ever notice how all the stars of the milky way are printed on paper. I wonder what the three dimensional picture would look like? After all when we are looking at stars billions of light years away how do we know that the image didnt come from an entirely different direction? Perhaps the whole universe is one big sphere with light bouncing in from the border. -just a thought

Brokenpride again! I just promoted your other topic and am going to take this one with it...slow down! It is best to focus on one topic at a time. I am going to take this one with me and close this PNT. Lets address your questions in Big Bang/Cosmology as you seem to have a science mind!
