Sudden Presence describes the moment something enters perception without an obvious beginning. Astronomy is filled with events that appear this way because the universe can change long before the evidence of that change reaches us. A star may explode thousands or millions of years before its light finally arrives at Earth, suddenly creating a brilliant point in a sky where observers had previously seen nothing unusual. The object has not necessarily just come into existence; instead, information announcing the event has finally reached the observer.
