   @thomasfuchs Because most stars, like our sun, go down at night. Simple.

     Infinite stars/galaxies in infinite space doesn't necessarily mean light in every direction.

     Plus we can only see ~15B years worth of light, area, volume of the universe.

     Also light attenuation. Expansion of the universe. Etc.

     @thomasfuchs because empty space has nothing to reflect light and there is dark matter and big distance.

     @thomasfuchs Because space itself is expanding so the light from distant galaxies don’t reach us. As the Universe ages, the night sky is going to get darker. This video explains it better https://youtu.be/XBr4GkRnY04?si=GvQP8BC6UDMzT73z :)
