The space between the stars is best described as far away but really so close.

The stars you see in the night sky can light up the whole universe. Even in the fog, you can still see a faint light.

The stars are very far away, but are bright enough to see. The shine because they believe that one day, they will be closer to us than they are right now. They shine so we know that they are there, waiting patiently for us to find them.

When they are found, they will be closer to us than ever before.
