I've been studying Obler's Paradox, and most of the answers have to do
with the size, expantion rate, etc. of the universe. But looking at
pictures of our own galexy, the bright cluster in the center should be
more then enough to light up the night sky by itself. The light has
had enough time to get here, so why don't we see it?
