wiki Wrote:Astronomers think there are a very large number of stars in the Universe. They estimate (guess) that there are at least 70 sextillion stars. That is 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is about 230 billion times the amount of stars in the Milky Way (our galaxy).

I have also heard there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy and there are 100 billion galaxies. Then there could be more than one Universe. The sums are similar. Give or take 30 sextillion. Note the word guess.

Apparently, our minds are incapable of compehending the size of our Universe. When we refer to our Universe, we are thinking of our Galaxy. In context, our Galaxy is our Universe, as anything beyond our own galaxy has no practical use to us. Maybe.

Imagine the possibilities.
