| Wiki et al show tables of the first 20 or 50 starsnearest the earth.

| .. .. .. 4.3 6.0 7.7 8.4 8.6 9.4 10.4 LY
| 1.7 1.7 .7 .2 1.2 1 the differences

Why are you a cretin? There should be at least 55 morons
writing to sci.astro ahead of you and you the closest. The next
poster is at least an hour away from you, it just doesn't seem
likely that such a void exists.
Look, imbecile, that's the way it IS, there is no "why" to it.

And why are you such an arsehole?
The poster was simply asking an innocent question.
If you can't be constructive, why don't you just shut the *** up?
