edit: and I used aliens and us humans in other planets as an example to why this can be important.
I believe the answer is, essentially, no, there is no workaround. I recall vague notions about wormholes possibly providing some communication across spacetime that violates normal speed of light principles, but those are tiny and uncontrollable and theoretical and don't really answer the question. Others will know a lot more about this, but, my understanding is that, in any way we think about "observing" far across the galaxy from our earth, we're necessarily looking at the thing as it was minutes or years or millennia ago. When it comes to the SOL (speed of light), we're SOL (not speed of light).
If the sun blew up now, we couldn't tell on earth for 8 minutes.
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D
Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
