I read in a popular science magazine in the UK that "recent" observations of the universe indicate that the number of galaxies in the the universe is actually so vast that Olbers paradox is still a paradox. The short article postulated that they had solved the paradox by proving that light from distant objects is absorbed by hydrogen gas clouds thus causing it to be dark at night. I thought that Olbers paradox was resolved long ago - is this not so?
