Yes, when we look at stars in the sky, we are seeing them as they were in the past because the light from stars takes time to travel to Earth, so we are seeing them as they appeared at a certain point in the past.

When you look into the sky we think you can see the past why is that?

ORIGINAL ANSWER:"Yes because you see something happen a few milliseconds after they actually happen." ADDITIONAL ANSWER: The person who answered this before me is technically correct. But another way to see into the past is just to look up at the night sky. Every star that you see is actually in the past. This is because light takes time to travel across the vast distance of space. Even the light that we see from our Sun is 8 minutes in the past.


Why do people say looking at stars is like looking in the past?

Because the speed of light is finite (around 186,000 miles per second) and the stars are so distant, it takes a long time for the light to reach the telescope from the stars - at least 4.2 years. Many objects are millions of light years distant, meaning that what we see in the sky is from the distant past.
