  3. Cosmological horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon

    The particle horizon, also called the cosmological horizon, the comoving horizon, or the cosmic light horizon, is the maximum distance from which light from particles could have traveled to the observer in the age of the universe. It represents the boundary between the observable and the unobservable regions of the universe, so its distance at ...
