The spatial region that can be observed with telescopes is called the observable universe, which depends on the location of the observer. The proper distance —the distance as would be measured at a specific time, including the present—between Earth and the edge of the observable universe is 46 billion light-years (14 billion parsecs), making the diameter of the observable universe about 93 billion light-years (28 billion parsecs). The distance the light from the edge of the observable universe has traveled is very close to the age of the universe times the speed of light, 13.8 billion light-years (4.2 × 10 ^ pc), but this does not represent the distance at any given time because the edge of the observable universe and the Earth have since moved further apart.
