This is really fascinating - I’ve never really given this any thought whatsoever, but it’s rather dazzling to see it presented this way.
I certainly thought this was enlightening. Didn’t even realize we knew much beyond our sun
It’s a big universe.
Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
It is more than 1000 light years away.
The universe is so vast it is not comprehensible by the human mind. It would be like an ant trying to understand the wonder of the internet. It can’t be done.
Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!
Surah 25. Al-Furqan, Ayah 61
Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!
Surah 7. Al-A’raf, Ayah 54
Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny?
Surah 55. Ar-Rahman
