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.
Because the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago, we can only observe objects up to a certain distance from Earth â light from more distant objects hasnât had time to reach us yet. And to answer âhow many stars are there,â we must limit the discussion to what we can observe. Astronomers estimate that the observable universe has more than 100 billion galaxies. Our own Milky Way is home to around 300 billion stars, but itâs not representative of galaxies in general.
