Our Sun is just one of an estimated two-to-four hundred billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, and looking up towards the night sky, one canât help but wonder how many of those stars have planets of their own, and what those worlds are like. Image credit: Free Roaming Photography, by Mike Cavaroc.
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.
