Seems to me all we can see is back to the point where
things are moving away from our relative position at
less than the speed of light. Did you know that the
red shift is quantitized, i.e. not continuous, even
within the same galaxy?

So some people are saying.

And we still get to see parts of the universe that were close to us post-
inflation, though the universe is really too opaque at that distance to see
the really early stuff. But we're nearing the threshold where cesium would
be rare or non-existent. In short, we're SEEING some of those early
supernovae that made it in the first place. Several cosmologists think
that's the cause of the gamma-ray bursts we're experiencing.
