An expression used to describe the vastness of space. Its etymology probably stems from the resemblance of the great expanse of space and its uncountable shining stars to the vast, sparkling ocean witnessed by Earth's great explorers, back when much of the world still remained to be discovered. The term is often used even by civilizations unaware of the concept of space.
