If what we have learned about the Universe and the Stars are correct thus far in our discoveries, with so many gigantic stars throughout the universe, how do we explain the lack of visible lateral lights from each star from the one perspective Earth? Why is the condition of the Universe fundamentally Black notwithstanding the billions of stars visible from Earth?

visible lateral lights? Like a halo around a street light?<br /><br />Answer is: We do when there is something for the light to interact with and that would be the nebulae.<br /><br />Otherwise there isn't much out there to interact with the light, and even what is out there, isn't in the correct state to interact with light much at all (sorta like how light can pass through glass) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.  Goes "bing" when there's stuff.  It also fries eggs at 30 paces, wether you want it to or not actually.  I've learned to stay away from hens: It's not pretty when they blow" -- </font></em></font><font size="1" color="#999999">The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

If you are not asking about Olbers Paradox, you can google (or Wiki) 'light echos'.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>
