Iy seems like astronomers are still getting light generated by the big bang. Why is this? Its keeping us from seeing the light that is within a certain range of us.

actually the big bang is believed creating the entire universe, throwing an infinite ammount of matter/energy out.
This should have created a massive wall of substance which we can still observe in 13.5 billion lightyears rapidly moving away from us.
This 'substance' is so dense that it is able to reflect and bend radiation and light back to itself, so we can just see something glowing at 4 Kelvin temperature, with a very high redshift
Matter itself (actually stars and everything) are between us and this wall, and we see light from them.
The expanding shell is what takes its own light away at the edge of our universe, but thats not near us, thats at great distance

No electro-magnetism [light] was produced by the big bang.
Light never emerged before the first massive stars lit up,which occurred some 100 million years after time zero.
Light emitted will always precede the emission source.
Electo-magnetic radiation if the only way we can obtain information from remote locations,but the speed of light limits what we can know.
90% of the galaxies from deep space do not exist to-day.

The 'Big Bang` wasn't an explosion in the normal sense. Space itself expanded, and continues to do so.
The back ground radiation that we recieve today is from parts of the universe that are now as many light years away as the time of 'transparency` is in the past.
Sorry, thats as simple as I can make it.

You are "dropping the ball" on your understanding of relativity.
