well there is a limited amount of matter/energy in the universe. although space is sort-of infinite (hard to explain the way cosmological distances work), there is not an infinite number of stars/galaxies, etc. If there were infinite numbers of stars, then the sky would look pure white because at any miniscule RA/Dec, you would be pointing at a star at some distance.
