Calculating the star in the universe is like trying to
estimate the number of sand grains on a shore, it’s impossible. Even though
calculations differ among different astronomers and scientists, the general
agreement is that there’re more than between 100 billion and 200 billion
galaxies in the observable universe.
Just imagine about that for a second, and
now throw billions of stars in each galaxy. Just like our home galaxy, the
Milky Way Galaxy, for example, this accommodates nearly 120,000 light years
across, and holds up to 4 hundred billion stars. In the video below, a team of
researchers composed data on more than 8000 galaxies that are surrounding the
Milky Way galaxy.
They calculated each galaxies movement and place in space,
and learned that our galaxy is part of one enormous system that covers a plenty
of other galaxies, specified as a super cluster.
