Cosmic horizon

The boundary beyond which light has not had time to reach us, defining the observable limit.

What Is a Cosmic Horizon?

What Is a Cosmic Horizon?

August 28, 2026 | Cosmic horizon, Cosmic Timeline, Early Universe | Earnest S. Carroll

A cosmic horizon marks the boundary of what we can observe in an expanding universe. The particle horizon defines the edge of the observable universe, while the event horizon sets the limit of future observations. This guide explains the concept and traces the cosmic epochs from the Planck era to structure formation.
