Don't you know? Stars are quite large, perhaps the size of an elephant. They are about 100 miles up, and exceedingly bright so that they can be seen at that huge distance. There are about 5000 of them in total, and you can see the half of them that are above the disc of the earth on a clear night.

I can see then how it'll be the end of everything when they all fall to Earth at once.
