How Big is the Universe
An Amazing Fact:If you were driving in a car going the speed of light, it would take you 30 billion years to go from one end of the universe to the other.
To say the universe is big would be an understatement. There is barely a word in English to describe the size of it. When measuring distances in the universe, scientists use a unit called “light years.” This is the distance light can travel in a year. Since light travels 670 million miles per hour, light travels about six trillion miles in one year. Thus, the size of the universe is roughly 15 billion light years (or about 90 billion trillion miles), and it would take you 30 billion years to travel the distance of the universe if traveling at the speed of light.
Are you up for it?
Of course, perhaps just as fascinating is the number of galaxies—like our Milky Way—that are in the known universe. Scientists estimate there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the universe, with each galaxy having as many as 400 billion stars like our sun.
What is not known by scientists is whether life exists anywhere else in the universe. Many have postulated that there is, but thus far, no life has been discovered.
The Bible seems to hint at the idea of life existing beyond this planet—besides heaven, of course. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 4:9, curiously announces that “we have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men” (NIV). The Greek word for “spectacle” is literally “theater.” Thus, apparently, beings throughout this huge universe are watching this small, little planet, waiting to see what unfolds in the drama between God and Satan.
We all have a critical part to play.
