I think what is meant is that we don't see the planets and stars in real time, because it takes time for the light to travel the great distance. For instance, it takes about 8 minutes for a photon (light) to travel from the sun to our planet. In that sense, when we look at the sun from earth, the image we perceive of it is actually lagging behind with 8 minutes. So when we look at the stars from earth, everything we see is a snapshot of the past.

"Ceres is 590 miles (950 km) across and was discovered in 1801.
In January, researchers discovered that water was gushing from its surface.

The 'Death Star' as never seen before:
Dawn probe reveals stunning animations of Ceres as it edges closer to its 'alien' mark

The presence and abundance of water in bodies like Ceres could have relevance for the origin of life on Earth and the large-scale migration of planets such as Jupiter.
One scenario suggests as the giant planets migrated they disturbed populations of small rocky and icy asteroids and comets which hit the early Earth and Moon - delivering organic molecules and water to Earth.

Ceres is twice the size of Saturn's geyser-spouting moon Enceladus which is suspected of having liquid water beneath its surface.
It lies less than three times as far as Earth from the sun - close enough to feel the warmth of the star allowing ice to melt and reform."
