So would the light from those stars also be moving outward faster than the speed of light?


No. In fact, if two objects are far enough apart, then the amount of new space created between them will be so great that light will never be able to travel between them. Neither object will ever be able to see the other.


It's really hard for me to imagine how a flashlight on a distance plant could be moving away from me faster than the speed of light but the emitted light is going slower.



Just like the sound of an ambulance.
