TL;DR Summary

The Universe's expansion is accelerating due to dark energy, causing most of it to be disappearing from our reach. Only about 6% of the observable Universe is presently reachable, with the remaining 94% visible only as they were in the past. As time progresses, the percentage of the observable Universe that's reachable will continue to decrease, with galaxies moving farther apart. After another 112 billion years, only our Local Group of galaxies will remain within our cosmic reach.
