If the universe continues to expand and we cannot visually see stars
at the farthest edges of the universe without the use of telescopes,
will not all stars eventually disappear from human sight? And what is
the limit or the farthest distance that normal human vision can see
a star. If we could figure out the farthest distance that we can
see a star then we could estimate when the entire night sky would be
completely black.
