I quite literally did this yesterday, but it’s OK, my roommates already did before me :)

You know, this ain’t so bad

I seriously thought I was reading Spanish at first

I wonder if such a situation could occur if we were in some huge medium where Cherenkov radiation could occur

Hmmmm, I guess that the premise was probably wrong then, since the object necessarily has to have mass and travel slower than c (I mean, a massless object would be constrained the by c anyways). The gravitational lensing is a good addition! I have no idea how I forgot, but I remember a hs physics class where this came up for new telescope images
