How Far Can We See In Space

There are billions of galaxies the most distant of which are so far away that the light arriving from them on earth today set out from the galaxies billions of years ago.
How far can we see in space. So the age of the universe just seems like a number but it s a very big number. In actuality we can see for 46 billion light years in all directions for a total diameter of 92 billion light years. Today the most distant objects we can see are more than 30 billion light years away despite the fact that only 13 8 billion years have passed since the big bang. Roughly 13 8 billion years.
Visible all the way down here on earth the. The farthest away galaxies are 13 2 billion light years from earth meaning their light has taken 13 2 billion years to travel to hubble s cameras. The farther a galaxy is the. The light from those past events is just.
So we see them not as they are today but as they looked long before there was any life on earth. But we can see objects in space which are even more distant with the naked eye. The deeper we see into space the more galaxies we discover. That means the edge of the universe is 13 8 billion light years away so far away.
The closest is 2 5 billion light years away but there are many much further out. When 13 billion light years is translated into kilometers there are a staggering number of zeros it comes out to approximately 123 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 km. The moon is 385 000 km away and the sun is a whopping 150 million km. Earth formed only 4 5 billion years ago so we can see quasars shining where the light had left before the earth.
