Original: "Space is a huge, mostly empty place with stars and planets scattered like sprinkles. It stretches so far, that's we call it boundless."

Corrected (simple): "Space is a huge, mostly empty place with stars and planets scattered like sprinkles. It stretches so far that we call it boundless."

Corrected (even simpler): "Space is very big and mostly empty. Stars and planets are scattered like sprinkles. It's so big that we call it boundless."

Why:

  1. The phrase "that's we call" is wrong. We say "that we call" or "so big that we call."
  2. Don't put a comma before "that" in this sentence. The word "that" connects the two ideas: how far space stretches and what we call it.
  3. You can also break the thought into shorter sentences to make it easier to read and say out loud.

Try reading the corrected sentence aloud. Nice work fixing it!
