After looking at this question, I am wondering, how long does it take for a galaxy or other space object, to disappear from our view from the Milky Way due to the expansion of the universe? Assume GN-z11 is our target object here, or some other notable distant object.

Edit: As @PM2Ring said in a comment, "No galaxy that is observable today ever disappears (but does become increasingly redshifted." So when does a target galaxy get so redshifted that we cannot see it anymore?

    It depends on how you define "disappear". ;) From this comment on that page: No galaxy that is observable today ever disappears (but does become increasingly redshifted). Also see https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/19910/16685 which has a helpful diagram. – PM 2Ring Jan 29 '21 at 21:45
  • Pm 2 Ring do you mean that there is no object far enough and receding fast enough to cross an event horizon? I was thinking it is possible. Perhaps I should study again the famous article on "expanding confusion"... – Alchimista Jan 30 '21 at 13:59
