When will our view of the night sky start to meaningfully change as the solar system orbits the Milky Way?

Also what new things would we be able to observe as our position in the Milky Way changes?

As we know the light we receive from earth has traveled a long way for some objects (think Gn-z11 or MoM-z14). If a viewer started traveling towards the object, how would their view of the object changed as they got closer and closer? Some very distant (and early) astronomical objects are definitely not in the state that we see them today so how does the view transform between what we began with and what we should see presently?

Month away but still so much of it feels overwhelming.

WACC, all the hedging calcs, not to mention the theories.

When i try the problems it feels too much for me to process.

Does their tools allow for some confirmation of the Oort Cloud's existence if it was placed at where the cloud supposedly starts. Obv this is a hypothetical but I want to know would Voyager be able to send us any useful data confirming the existence of the Oort Cloud?

If someone was departing from the Milky Way to say Andromeda, what is meant when people say it would be pitch black all around? I'd have thought traversing between galaxies would have some glimmers here and there of stars and galaxies (i.e. Andromeda), however faint they are, that would still be visible.

I find it a bit hard to process given we're able to see Andromeda from earth (with good vision/visibility) from a 2mly distance so any clarification helps!
