"can see what Icarus looked like when the universe was"
13.1 billion years - 9 billion years - 4.1 billion years old.
We see what the star looked like 9 billion years ago and also what the universe looked like 4.1 billion years old (the star would have a short lifespan, so I've no idea how old it was 9 billion years ago :P ).
