Yes. Actually you are always seeing things as they happened in the past. Just the very near past. Light travels about 11.8 inches in a nanosecond (1 billionth of a second), for example. RADAR uses the time difference of the reflected waves to determine distance. But yes it is easier to talk about these effects in space, because it takes something like 9 minutes for light to get to us from the sun, and years for light to reach us from the nearest stars.
