Some authors have used the term "metagalaxy" in place of the
expression "observable universe".


Metagalaxy suggests suggests an object which is observer independent and, to
a degree, fixed or static. How about Photosphere; it is suggestive of both
the shape and nature of the object. It also alludes to the existence of a
center, the observer. Larry Wickert

something else -- mjh]
