Garnted, it is a whole order of magnitude bigger, which is much better, but I have two issues:1) 'Thousands' typically implies 1000-9000, so I would instead state 'the Abyss is tens of thousands of miles across.' Even better, state 'The Abyss is an almost unfathomable 100,000 miles across.'2) Best: Go one more order of magnitude... "The Abyss is an unfathomable hundreds of thousands of miles across.'</blockquote>
