night sky

Guess who it was who sussed the answer to why the night sky is black? It was Edgar Allen Poe - that crazy-verse writer. Apparently he was very interested in astronomy, and even the great minds of the time couldn't think why... His answer completely smashed the theory of a static infinite universe, and from then on, the realisation that the univerese is expanding, caught on.
