Bouncing Light To Look Back In time

When light hits our planet most of it bounces off and spends years travelling away from us. I wonder if it's possible to capture that light bouncing off of nearby objects. If the objects were far away, this could allow us to see backwards in time! that would be awesome... I guess...

Isaac Asimov did a story about looking back in time. Its one of his best so I'll get back to you later on what it's called.

"I'm Just a traveller in time
Trying so hard just to pay for my crimes"
-Uriah Heap
