Stars Beyond Counting (Discovered 1940s)
Greek astronomers like Hipparchus and Ptolemy documented roughly 3,000 visible stars in their careful catalogs. Modern astronomy reveals that the Milky Way alone contains between 100-400 billion stars in a universe filled with billions of galaxies. Genesis compared stars to countless grains of sand on the seashore. Jeremiah stated that stars “cannot be numbered,” matching what telescopes would reveal about space’s true vastness.
