There are many...many...many more stars in the visible universe than there are grains of sand on the entire Earth.


There are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone. There are many, many millions of galaxies.

There are more grains of sand in a single bucket full than there are LEDs on the planet.

There's an infinitely expanding number of stars at some exponential curve (based around the speed of light, theoretically). There is no way to compare the two.

And more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on the entire planet.

LOL! Stars are cool too. Besides, I can make believe that they're just white LED's shining through pinholes on a black sheet of paper.

I have probably seen more LEDs lit up than I have actual stars. That is kind of sad if you really think about it.

You get to see a lot more stars in the sky if you get away from the city lights and have a cloudless night.

I suppose that it is time to start crankin' out dem LEDs, yo. lol

Stars are another reason why I love camping... just look up and you have an infinitely huge work of art that is completely free to look at... unless of course you live in some ridiculous place that forces you to pay to look up, lol.
