15:6.5 The [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]] is [[illuminated]] and warmed by more than ten trillion blazing suns. These suns are the stars of your [[observable]] astronomic system. More than two trillion are too distant and too small ever to be seen from [[Urantia]]. But in the [[master universe]] there are as many suns as there are glasses of water in the [[oceans]] of your world.

15:6.6 ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_holes] The Dark Islands of Space]''. These are the dead suns and other large aggregations of [[matter]] devoid of [[light]] and [[heat]]. The dark islands are sometimes enormous in [[mass]] and exert a powerful [[influence]] in [[universe]] [[equilibrium]] and [[energy]] [[manipulation]]. The [[density]] of some of these large masses is well-nigh unbelievable. And this great concentration of mass enables these dark islands to [[function]] as powerful [[balance]] wheels, holding large [[Neighbor|neighboring]] [[systems]] in effective leash. They hold the [[gravity]] balance of power in many [[constellations]]; many physical systems which would otherwise speedily dive to destruction in near-by suns are held securely in the gravity grasp of these guardian dark islands. It is because of this [[function]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lensing] that we can locate them accurately. We have [[measured]] the gravity pull of the [[luminous]] bodies, and we can therefore [[calculate]] the exact size and location of the ''dark islands of space'' which so [[effectively]] function to hold a given system steady in its [[course]].

15:6.7 ''Minor Space Bodies''. The [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteors meteors] and other small [[particles]] of [[matter]] circulating and [[evolving]] in [[space]] constitute an enormous aggregate of [[energy]] and [[material]] substance.
