The experts say there is no one center to the universe. That EVERYWHERE can be considered the center. That, on the grand scale, everything is moving away from every other thing (galaxies, primarily). And this is precisely how the expansion appears from our observation point. They say that this must be the case because it would be a near impossibility that we were in some “special” location in the universe. ie, the “center”. Therefore, everywhere is likely the center.

Okay. It seems you inferred my post about Earth being situated in a way to have a clear view of the universe had something to do with the "center of the universe" but, it did not.

We have a clear view from our solar system because there aren't any "nearby" galaxies, star clusters, etc. to ruin our view with light pollution and the like.
