Oops that should be DISTANT (not distanct). And how far away from Earth.

The most distant thing we can observe is the cosmic microwave background. It is the remnant of the big bang.
How far away is it? I don't know off the top of my head.
But you can figure it out--multiply the speed of light by the age of the universe (since recombination, which was a relatively short time after time zero). So about 14 billion light years.
Theoretically, we may someday be able to detect a cosmic neutrino background which is a slightly older remnant of the big bang. Our neutrino-detection capability will have to improve a lot, though, before we can detect such distant, low-energy neutrinos.
