We are always looking at the past

Today, I have read an article that it made me to think. This text said that when we talked of contemplating the universe, to which universe were are we referring? When we looked ‘out there’ at the stars and galaxies, the distances were are so vast that, by the time the light reachesed us, the universe we saw see hasd already changed. In effect, we were are always looking at the past.
What do you think about this? Are we always looking at the past, not only when we are contemplating the stars but in our personal life?
Thank you for your opinion and for correcting my grammar and vocabulary mistakes

Excellent work here. Despite always looking at the past, all the sentences sound more natural using the present tense, because it's an unchanging fact of the universe. Whenever we look at a star, today, yesterday, or tomorrow, that light is older than we are when we are looking. It's an interesting topic, thinking about it hard enough led Einstein to discover his theory of relativity, which has some truly weird consequences.
