So far as we are able to judge, there is absolutely no limit to the
universe of stars. We are as sure of the law of gravity as we are of the
existence of heaven. We build larger telescopes each year only to behold
additional millions of stars, each star, possibly, the larger on account
of our being able to see it at all. We absolutely know that one star is
larger than our sun by 324 times. The moon is about nine times around
the earth away from us. The sun is larger than the track of the moon
around the earth by 167,000 miles in every direction. If you had a ball
which would just fit in the track of the moon, and stuck it all full of
pins 167,000 miles long, you would have the size of the sun.
