If the night sky Is dark because we’re seeing the world as it was a long time ago, when there wasn’t much to see, is there a place on the universe where we can see the universe at the beginning of time? Where we can look at light from the moment of the Big Bang ?

"we’re seeing the world as it was a long time ago, when there wasn’t much to see," That's not quite right. Most of the stars we can see with the naked eye are relative close, less than a few hundred lightyears away. With dark skies (and good eyes) we can see more distant parts of the Milky Way, and our near neighbour galaxies: the Magellanic Clouds, Andromeda, Triangulum, but we can't see individual stars in those regions. – PM 2Ring Feb 24 '20 at 08:07

There is The Restaurant at the End of the Universe but I don't think that that's necessarily what you're looking for. – uhoh Feb 24 '20 at 11:01

The moment you think of is seen as cosmic background radiation and within the current understanding it is seen wherever you go. – Alchimista Feb 25 '20 at 09:03
