“Why is the night sky dark?”(Hienrich) This question, also known as Olber's paradox, has been asked for thousands of years. Astronomers are steadily getting closer to the answer, but no one has yet found a definitive answer. As scientists relentlessly collect data hoping to find some clue to the answer to this puzzle, we seem to realize that the answer may be due to something that is too mind-blowing for us to comprehend. Over the years, several explanations have been considered. But at the moment only two reasons seem to answer the question at hand. Here are several explanations, some of which have been accepted scientifically and others that simply seem logical. The first explanation is that there is too much twilight in the universe to see the light of distant stars. This is obviously wrong. The dust acts like a shield, making some of the light harder to see from the ground. But the amount of dust needed to completely block all starlight would also block light from the sun, and that's clearly not happening. A second explanation is that the Universe has a finite number of stars. Well, regardless of how finite the number of stars is, the reality is that the number of stars we have would be enough to light up the entire sky. There is too much luminous matter in the Universe for this explanation to be correct. A third explanation is that the distribution of stars is such that some are behind others and therefore the light...
