Thank you and Marcia for the links.

I know we're not at the center of the galaxy.

I think I grasp the Hubble constant and how it implies the space (distance ) between clusters is increasing i.e. expanding universe.

I'm still puzzled. If light at the edge of the visible universe left the emitting object 14 billion years ago when it was 14 billion LY away...How is this possible when 14 billion years ago the universe had just begun?

(Maybe this will show where I'm going wrong)
