Where is the edge of space and the universe?

There probably is no such edge. There is certainly no known edge. The "observable universe" has an edge, which is the limit of how far we can see. That's related to the age of the universe and the speed of light. Astronomers think there's a lot more beyond that limit and that the universe could be infinite in size.


Is universe getting bigger?

Yes. To be more exact, it is "space" within the "observed universe" that is expanding. A confusing fact is that many astronomers believe the universe as a whole may already be infinite in size. This doesn't stop them saying the observable universe is still expanding. "Infinity" is a tricky idea.
