What I mean is. It’s only what we can observe, right? So is it like, there’s a big universe, and we’re shining a flashlight jnto it, and as the Earth and Sun move through the universe, we’re seeing different parts of the whole, and losing others? Or can we just see to an observable “edge” that isnt centered on us?
In: Planetary Science
The current understanding is that the expansion of the universe has already caused the furthest stars and galaxies that we can see to move beyond our observable horizon, so they light they emit now will never get here. Also, your observable universe is ever so slightly different from the person next to you, so your Mom was right, you are the center of the universe.
