A handful of sand contains one million grains. One thousand handfuls makes a billion.

There are one hundred billion individual stars within our galaxy and there are at least fifty billion galaxies in the universe.

There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on earth.

How do they know that?
There might be as many stars as grains of sand in Castle Cliff beach Wanganui. These moon goons are only guessing there might be a big void out there with nothing from the last star to infinity.

813964 2009-09-26 07:08:00 That reminds of in my teenage years at Mot Hi I was with a chick at night on Little Kaiteriteri beach.
She was looking up at the stars and saying things about the infinity of space bla bla etc etc.
All I wanted to know was I going to get some tonight, bugger space.
