This ayah is an amazing miracle 

Scientists say we see this galaxy as it was millions of years ago, but as for its real location, we can not comprehend because the light it transmits takes millions of years until it reaches us. This means that the real locations of the stars is known only to Allah, the Almighty, and that is why Allah took an oath by them, Allah stated in Glorious Quran AL-WAQIA (THE EVENT, THE INEVITABLE) 56:75, ‘Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,’ Who has informed Allah Messenger  this truth about the cosmos?
