Did the stars we see pass by the earth many, many years ago?

The other stars we see are indeed images of their past, and we don’t know what they are like now.

However, they are very large and heavy, and are stars like our sun. If they had ever "passed by" the earth, the earth would have been out of water, and the solar system would have been washed away by it. , swallowed up many planets, it is impossible to still be safe and sound.
