The Vastness of the Universe
No one can truly comprehend the vastness of the true universe. “You’ll never, ever get your head around how big the universe is,” says astronomer Dr. Pete Edwards from Durham University in northeast England. “Don’t go there, it’s just vast, it’s enormous.” To give you an idea of the size, Edwards says the visible universe contains around 100 billion galaxies, each surrounded by 100 billion stars. That translates into something like 10,000 million, million, million stars. “That means there are more stars in the visible universe than grains of sand on Earth,” Edwards says. He elaborates further in this edition of The Guardian.
