Still incredible.
The observable universe is the operative word here. What we can and possibly will observe at some point in time. That in itself doesn't say anything on how big the universe really is and if it could be infinite.
Exactly. The entire thing could be infinitely large for all we know. In any case, its size need not be related to the size of the observable universe because there is no reason why it should be anywhere near it, so it could be anything really, likely many orders of magnitude larger.
