The Euclid telescope, just launched today, will be able to observe galaxies out to 10 billion light-years. Here’s the largest map I could find (1 billion light years) that includes the Milky Way, Laniakea, the Shapley supercluster, the Perseus–Pisces supercluster, and the South Pole Wall.

And of course, there’s the famous Isaac Asimov short story about this, “The Last Question”.

I admittedly have not read a lot of Asimov but The Last Question is one of the few stories I’ve read in full (it helps that it’s a short story) and I absolutely loved it!
