Verily, in the creation of The Heavens and Earth are signs for those who ponder (Quraan)
OUR galactic system contains some 200,000 million stars according to the scientists. Its diameter is 10,000 light years (a light year being the distance traversed by light at the speed of 186,000 miles per second, in one year), which means to cross it from one end to the other end at the speed of 186,000 miles per second would take a thousand centuries. This is our galaxy, The Milky Way. Besides this galaxy the estimated number of similar galaxies in the known portion of the universe is more than a thousand million. And the known portion of the universe may just be a spec in the vast boundless universe of which Allah Ta’ala is the lord and creator.
Verily, we did not create the heavens and the earth and what is inbetween in idle sport (Quraan)
