People are saying that The Pillars Of Creation have been destroyed, and will take 400-500 Million light years to reach us. Can someone explain how do we know it when the light hasn’t reached us?

I have a cool photo of a friend of mine jumping to catch a flying trapeze. I caught her mid air, in a perfect “superman” style pose. Despite it being a photo so you can’t literally see her moving, just from her posture and where she is relative to the trapeze, you can immediately tell she didn’t make the jump. We’ve all seen enough people jumping to know what a miss looks like.
The Pillars of Creation are a similar situation. We’ve seen enough other similar things that we know what to look for, and we know that the way they look means they’re going poof.
