They're 7,000 light-years away from us. A light year is 6,000,000,000,000 miles so these things are 42,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. A couple hundred thousand miles between camera locations aren't going to do shit to perspective.

Again, they're 7,000 light-years away, in the 30 years between photos there wasn't enough time for things to move enough to have any impact
