November 10--Down the Rabbit Hole

A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.  --Steve Martin

    Occasionally I come up with a question that makes me wonder and wander aimlessly. Here goes. With the billions of stars out there in our universe, why is outer space dark? Aren't there enough mighty stars out there to keep things well lit? Well, those stars are really far apart. But if there are photons of light shooting out of the sun, do they just fizzle out at some point? Where does a star's light end? And when I am on the side of planet Earth that is temporarily facing away from our sun, why can't I still see the sunlight shooting past the earth in all directions? 
    I could get weird about electricity, too, but I'll spare you!
