Yeah, I totally agree with John L. Step outsided on a cold night, let your eyes ajust to the darkness - the outlook will look the same. Think about it - think how far out we can see from - we look out at night and see the Milky Way - our galaxy and of course, with the odd exception - andromedia etc. "Switching off" the sun won't increase our ability to see further out into the universe much at all......

Hope this helps

Rigel
