The relevant photons are still flying through space. And with a time lapse video of this scale, clouds are not a problem.

The replacement camera is rocketing out there right now, faster than the speed of light to catch up with those photons.

Too bad it had to go back in time to do so, so it might not be overnight :\

I love an advanced civilization anyway, I'll be getting the popcorn ready ;)
