      The answer is, we’re not really sure!

      We know a bit about the “observable universe”, which is as far as we can be sure the universe goes – but there could be lots more universe out beyond that!

      We think the diameter of the observable universe is about 91 billion light-years across, which is about 535,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles! :O
