There's nothing really paradoxical about this. The events in the past caused an image to appear in the future. It's no more paradoxical than recording a movie with your webcam and burying your laptop for 10k years. The information was "stored" in radiation travelling through space and recovered at a time (dependent on the path length) later on. If a reflective surface that provided a good image of earth could be imaged at a distance, we'd see a nice view of what the earth looked like 10k years ago.

 

Even when you look in the mirror you're seeing a slightly "old" image due to the travel time of the light.
