Where any stars of the heavens may be in respect to any of the others at any given moment is as yet uncalculated by astronomers. If we could have an instant or simultaneous location of all the visible stars, we might witness a very regular celestial geometry. Who knows? To appreciate how difficult such a calculation would be, we must appreciate that with our naked eyes we are able to see the nebula in the constellation Andromeda, which is a live show just reaching us which was taking place two million years ago, and that was twelve quintillion miles away from us at that time. Where that nebula may be today in relation to all the other stars and nebula would take extraordinarily complex calculating. There are a billion galaxies of one hundred billion stars each in our thus far telescopically observed Universe, many of whose ‘live shows’ reaching us tonight took place eleven billion years ago.
"Galaxies revolve at peripheral speeds of a million miles an hour and stars within galaxies travel locally at lesser speeds of hundreds of thousands of miles an hour.
