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

Question

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?

Answer 1

Yes.

The universe is expanding in all directions at the same time. To get a sense of what this expansion is like, put 3 marks on a balloon. Then, blow up the balloon. As the ballon is filled, each mark becomes farther away from the other marks.
