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. The Milky Way is a titan compared to abundant but faint dwarf galaxies, and it in turn is dwarfed by rare giant elliptical galaxies, which can be 20 times more massive.
The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years (9Ã1017 km) (6Ã1017 mi) in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 light-years (9Ã1015 km) thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion. 1 person found this useful.
