I’m not sure if I worded my question correctly, but let me try to explain more.
If we use a giant telescope to look at another planet 10 light years away from us, we would be looking at how it was 10 years ago. The thing I don’t understand is how does light store and also transfer all the information about that planet (or all the “data” that ends up in our eyes) and yet it’s still the fastest thing.

It’s just light waves of different lengths. These reach our eyes and our eyes/brain process the light that hit our face. There is no “information” in it besides what our brains make of it. Just like throwing a rock into a pond creates waves. Those waves don’t really mean anything unless you make them mean something, they’re just there.
