The Qur'an claims that the moon is located in the middle of the universe and stars are in the nearest/lowest part of the universe.  [[w:List of nearest stars|The nearest star]] to our solar system is 4.24 light years (4x10<sup>13</sup>km) away and over 100 million times further away then the moon. Clearly the Quranic author has no idea that the vast majority of stars in the night sky are billions upon billions of light-years away.
