When we look at a distant galaxy through a telescope, we do not see that galaxy where it is today, we see it where it was when the light photons we receive were emitted. That tells us that while light photons are emitted by atoms within a star, the points of emission remain stationary in space while the star and its atoms move on. All light originates from stationary points in space. That appears to be what Einstein meant when he wrote that a “’luminiferous ether’ will prove to be superfluous” since his theory of Special Relativity does “not require an ‘absolutely stationary space’ provided with special properties.” Wherever a photon is created there is “a stationary point in space.”
