I was actually thinking if we develop a warp drive and go to a place a million light years away and then look at earth using a telescope then we can see.

That's a kick ass time telescope. 😁

The telescope itself would have to be light years wide, and you wouldn’t see images. The light from 65 million years ago, but no, it wouldn’t be like watching a video.
