Odd I stumbled on to this site obviously from a google search how long does vic w/d last and felt compelled to read every post. I am sitting here at the 24 hour mark and its not dreadful but it is pretty bad.
The best estimate from a 1999 study set that number at about 125 billion galaxies, but a 2013 study - after the Hubble Space Telescope was upgraded considerably - indicated that there are 225 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Scientists estimate that there are about 1 000 000 000 000 stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is one of ~1 000 000 000 000 galaxies. Although these are rough estimates, using these numbers we might imagine there are...a lot...of stars. The number is so large we usually write it in a special way.
