The comoving distance from the Earth to the edge of the visible universe is about 46.5 gigalight-years in any direction; this is the comoving radius of the Observable universe.

Searching ... one site says that the farthest star that we can see must be about 3 billion light years away. Another site mentions UDF 00411 with a redshift of z = 6.08, but no other information. ... Lots of stuff about the farthest galaxies. ... A1689-zD1 is the farthest one found so far, at 12.8 billion light years (z = 7.6). But we can't see individual stars in it. Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 090423, detected on April 23, 2009 was from a star about 13 billion light years away (z = 8.2).

The farthest objects to be discerned from earth are the quasars [quasi-stellar radio source].
