If my math is right, the closest star would have to have a diameter of about 
4100 times as big as our sun to look the same size as a 24cm street light 
does one mile away.  (Am I the only one that wonders how we managed to mix 
cm with miles?) And that's the *closest* star.

No, I don't remember why I started calculating that.
