Yes, as has been said before in this thread, light travels at 186,282 miles per second. Many of the things we see on the night sky are older than what we see because light takes so long to reach our eye. When you look at a star, you are looking at the past.
Some of the stars might not me there anymore, yet we see them. If our Sun goes off, it takes us 8 minutes to see it go off.
