I've heard astronomers say that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world.

When I sit on a beach and think about that, it boggles the mind. Heck, when I look at the sand in the 5 feet around me where I am sitting, it seems impossible to me there could be that many stars - then I think about how many beaches there are in the world.
