It's funny, I'm having my Astronomy class working on that problem right now. It involves an unnamed planet in a nearby star system; a crew of 20,000 to assure sufficient genetic diversity, and a generational ship that will make the trip in 50 years or so.

"I've found the perfect new home! Wonderful climate, friendly inhabitants, truly advanced science and progress..."

"Great! What's this planet called?"

"Krypton!"

"You realize that we are seeing it the way it was 3,000 years ago."

"Maybe, but can it really change that much since then?"

The "cosmological dark age", between about 400,000 and 10^9 years after the Big Bang.  A snapshot from that era would give potent (and all but unavailable) clues about structure formation at early times.
