​Half of the stars in our universe live in the space between galaxies

Data collected by CIBER rockets (Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment)show that as many as half of the stars in the universe are orphans – suns that spun out of their home galaxies in the wake of celestial events that tore universe in twain. These stars live in the dark space between galaxies, bathing the universe in the dim “intra-halo” light that the CIBER rockets picked up.

Crazy. Imagine living on a planet with a star-less sky at night.
