"I know they're supposed to amaze me, but I could throw paint at a wall and get similar.

I'm not sure the issue is being able to replicate these images, we could replicate anything and put it on a wall.

These aren't paint and imagination, these are real photos of real things we have never seen before in this way versus the imagination of some artist.

Just a question that is probably so obvious that asking is a waste of time, but I'm having trouble accepting what I Think is the answer..

Let's saying something like that is 1,000 light years away.
Then, if it just went straight to black, like flipping a switch,500 years ago, we would still be seeing it for another 500 years, then, poof,gone?

Yes. A Light Year is a distance measurement and Earth Year is time.

For instance the Sun is 8.3 light minutes away, so if the sun just flipped off - everything would go dark in about 8 minutes 20 seconds.

Something 1000 LY away that exhausted it's emitted light source 500 LY ago would still be visible on Earth for 500 more Earth Years.

Here is another one............

“Picture of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, located 4.2 light years away from us. It was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope,” a translation of the tweet read. “This level of detail… A new world is unveiled everyday.”
