As Genesis 1:1 says, God created the heavens. See notes on Gen 1:1.
How large is the Universe? Here are distances from the earth -
- < 12.5 Light Years, The Nearest Stars, The closest star to the Sun is only 7000 times further than the edge of our solar system, about 4 lights years away.
- < 250 Light Years, The Solar Neighbourhood, A large proportion of the stars visible with the naked eye are within 250 light years.
- 5,000 Light Years, The Orion Arm, The local arm of our galaxy is called the Orion Arm. It has millions of stars interspersed with clouds of interstellar gas.
- 50,000 Light Years, The Milky Way Galaxy, Our galaxy is a loose spiral disc of two hundred billion stars rotating around a compact centre.
- 500,000 Light Years, The Satellite Galaxies, The Milky Way is surrounded by several dwarf galaxies slowly orbiting it in periods of billions of years.
- 5 Million Light Years, The Local Group, The Milky Way is gravitationally bound to two other large spiral galaxies as well as dozens of dwarf galaxies.
- 100 Million Light Years, The Virgo Supercluster, The local group of galaxies is just one of many centred around the massive Virgo Cluster. Collectively, all of these groups and clusters form a unit known as the Virgo Supercluster.
- 1 Billion Light Years, The Neighbouring Superclusters, The distribution of galaxies in the universe is far from regular. They tend to clump together into huge supercluster formations.
- 14 Billion Light Years, The Visible Universe, Although our knowledge of the large scale structure of the universe is incomplete, many large and small scale features are visible right out to the very edge of the visible universe. The entire universe is fairly uniform.
