If I have a super large telescope, would I be looking towards the beginning of the universe no matter which direction I point it?

I read that the Hubble telescope could look 13.2 billion years back in time – what would it see if it turned 180 degrees and looked the other way?

Think of yourself on a boat in the middle of ocean. Where is the horizon? That’s how you should think about the edge of the universe where the curvature of the Earth is substituted for the finiteness of the speed of light.

The horizon is equal distance from your “center” such is the universe.
