I'm just to ignorant to understand things. They are looking "back" so far that they are seeing light that hasn't reached us yet.... light from the big bang. So that means that we are moving away from the big bang faster than the light that it caused since we have to look back to see the light from it?

Think about this, assuming the universe is fairly regular, (and that this view isn't peering into some dense area of the universe and the rest is not nearly as populated), we are looking at one twelve-point-seven millionth of the sky. And we are seeing some 10,000 galaxies (which themselves consist of BILLIONS of stars each). What is 10,000 multiplied by 12.7 million?
The numbers are beyond staggering.

I'm interested in what they will find beyond that yellow outer rim of the big bang.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz.
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know?
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down 'ere on Earth!
