Last year it was every 3 months sometimes to the day and then I had about a 5 month period without any but now I have had them 2 months in a row almost to the day. I was writing it in my calander trying to go long enough to get the shot (6 months) that is when I noticed they were occurring at exact times.
By extrapolating these results over the entire sky (which is some 10 million times larger), we were able to figure outâat minimumâthat there were at least 100 billion galaxies in the entire Universe. I even made a video about it.
And what a view it is! The new image, a false-color compilation of shots taken during the course of 841 orbits of Hubble between 2003 and 2012, contains roughly 10,000 galaxies in a vast variety of shapes and sizes. The galaxies show every possible shape and size, astronomer Phil Plait wrote on Slate.
