Interesting. However, there are only about 5,000 visible stars and planets in the night time sky visible to the naked eye. With this in mind, just consider our own Milky Way galaxy - more than 300 billion stars - it takes light 100,000 years just to cross our own galaxy. And there are hundreds of billions of galaxies, most with hundreds of billions of stars. The universe is truly staggering in its size. For a visual perspective that gives a hint of the size of the universe watch the opening scene of the move Contact. - a great movie, btw.
