Can someone help me understand this ?

The powerful telescopes are supposed to see in the past.
OK, I get thet. If you look at a distant star, you catch the light it
emitted one year ago if it is at one light-year distance.
But you cannot see the light it emitted 2 years ago, for that light has
already travelled past you.
Correct ?
Now, some say they can watch light coming from stars created just after
the big bang.
This I cannot understand, because that light should have travelled past
us already, from the original point.

Please explain ...


after the big bang (or during), space expanded at higher than lightspeed speed.
