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.
Just Google the two questions: How many stars are in the Milky Way and How many galaxies are in the observable universe. There are only about 5,000 stars visible to the naked, average, human eye, MinutePhysics points out.
