  Hi @ 947bm1926,
  
  This is a question near my soul as I am daily involved with spatial information.
  
  To count galaxies( vast collections of stars our universe) is a hard task, almost an impossible one because they are so many and limitation in the instruments we have (telescope) to do the observations. As a result, the number varies but what is acceptable is a range [ 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies] Quite amazing.
  
  These were counted on a particular region and multiplied to get a rough idea of the number of galaxies in our universe. Mind you this is just our universe. Do you know our galaxy among the billions?

  many billions? I think current estimates are ~100 billion in the observable universe?
