Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

The stars and sand.

The other day I quoted Carl Sagan:

"The total number of stars in the Universe is larger than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth."    

Today I have just read that there are more atoms in one gram of sand than there are stars in the Universe!

I feel less and less significant by the day!

PS This is no ordinary sand, this is Kalahari sand!
