The universe is vast from "summary" of The Edge of Time by Harrison Publishing
The immensity of the universe cannot be overstated. It stretches out in all directions, far beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Every time we peer out into the night sky, we are confronted with the vastness of space, with countless stars twinkling in the distance. Even our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a vast expanse of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. And yet, it is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars. The sheer scale of the cosmos is mind-boggling, and it is a humbling reminder of our own insignificance in the grand scheme of things. The distances between objects in space are truly staggering. Light, the fastest thing in the universe, takes years to travel from one star to another. And the distances between galaxies are so great that they are measured in millions or even billions of light-years. The universe is not only vast in size, but also in age. It has been around for billions of years, undergoing countless changes and transformations. Despite our best efforts, we have only scratched the surface of what lies beyond our own solar system. There are still so many mysteries waiting to be uncovered, so many questions waiting to be answered. The universe is a vast and wondrous place, full of beauty and wonder, and it is up to us to explore it and try to understand it as best we can.
