The moon is being supported by Jupiter

Try to get your head round this, latest estimates for the amount of 'observable' galaxies like ours is 2 trillion, with an acceptance that this number will carry on growing with the development of more and more powerful telescopes. 2 TRILLION, that we can see, that could well be a minuscule, even virtually too small a number to register of what might be out there. Using sensible examples like the amount of golf balls being able to fit into something gives us some sort of idea of the size of things that we can understand, but it's infinity that I can't get my head around, there might not be any end to space. How the hell can that be???? How can there be no end, and if there is an end, what is beyond the end? Or what does 'nothing' look like? It's crazy.... :dizzy: :lol:

Too much time on your hands John. Infinity is just a mathematical fudge. There will be a finite end to stuff, out there somewhere. We just can't yet calculate it. :wink:
