How we would be observed, sure, but that requires an observer. We don't know for sure that there are any alien species able to look at the sky within a distance short enough to see the sun. They would need to be not only in the same galaxy, but also in the same area of the galaxy.

Yeah our sun can be seen with a human naked eye 60 light years out, from less than 1000 stars. So one of those should contain life for this to be true. Guess it's possible?

You're missing the point Our sun is probably a part of a constellation as seen by inhabitants on another planet. There's no probably in this statement. The only question mark is "inhabitants of another planet" - but we know enough that regardless of what the observer is, this is how we would be observed
