Who can give a GOOD and simple explanation why the sky at night is dark,
given the fact that there are ziljons and ziljons of stars, all emitting light. Take picture with a powerfull telesope, and you will find it very hard to see a place where there are no stars... Yet... the night is dark...

But.... why is it than, that when light is absorbed by dust, it starts to emit light itself?

Take picture with a powerfull telesope, and you will find it very hard to see a place where there are no stars... Yet... the night is dark... Wikipedia gives a good and simple explanation of this paradox. However, as you will see, calling it "Olber's" is a misnomer, and calling it a "paradox" is also quite a stretch... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox HTH happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.
