By whom or what.

If you mean by man, then the answer is no. The furthest man has reached is so infinitesimally small that there shouldn't be an answer. The furthest we have been is 1.5 light seconds from Earth. The observable Universe is 13.7 billion light years away, which means 144,109,966,666,666,667 return Moon trips.

However, the Universe does not have an edge. If you COULD fly off in one direction at an incredible speed, you would be rather disappointed to find out that after a while you would return back to the same spot. Analogous to walking out of your home in one direction and x years later finding you are back where you started from.

Is universe moving towards us or away from us?

Neither. The definition of the 'universe' is: Everything that exists. And since that includes us, we are inside of the universe. The Universe is, however, thought to b expanding, and expanding faster at its outer edge. So the outer edge of the Univere is moving away from us. We, on the other hand, are moving away from the center of th e Universe (wherever that may be) so we are at the same time getting more distant from the center.
