Question
What is the furthest object at universe possible for observation from Earth (or solar system)?
Tomasz,
Your question was e-mailed to me twice, for some reason. I answered your question seperately. Oh, what the heck, I'll answer it again. The farthest objects in the universe that we can see are called Quasars. Here is a great link about the most distant quasar that we know about:

Let me know if I can help in any other way, and Keep Looking Up!

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.
Experience
I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
