Blow out candles under the stars. It’ll be wonderful. Chung-Sook brings up a tent bag and a guitar case from the storage basement. Da-Hae gives up and puts on her large bluetooth headphones, shutting out reality. Yon-Kyo takes Chung-Sook to the living room where the three dogs ...
it just means that the Universe contains more galaxies, which have less stars in them. There are the big main galaxies, and then a smooth distribution curve of smaller and smaller galaxies down to the tiny dwarf galaxies. The total number of stars comes out to be the same number...
How many galaxies are there? Astronomers have an estimate, but accurately counting them depends on several factors.
Another trick answer to “how many stars are in the sky?” is: “all of them!” All of them are in the sky, but they are just not visible to you “right now” for one reason or another. I know, these answers are not quite what you may be looking for. Let’s look a little ...
Earth resides. Part of it is visible on a clear night (from sufficiently dark locations) as a thick opaque band of stars and dust stretching across the sky. We can see thousands of these stars with the naked eye, and many more with a telescope. But how many stars are in the Milky ...
How Many Stars Are in the Milky Way? It's complicated, but you can use Newton's version of Kepler's Third Law to figure out how many stars are in the Milky Way. E.L. Wright (UCLA), The COBE Project, DIRBE, NASA We mentioned earlier that astronomers have estimated the number of...

When we look at the night sky, filled with stars, it’s hard to resist counting. Just with theunaided eye, in dark skies, you can see a few thousand. How many stars are there in the entire Universe? Before we get to that massive number, let’s consider what you can count with the...
The sun is a star, just like the other stars we see in the evening sky. The difference is distance: The other stars we see are light-years away, while our sun lies only about eight light minutes away — many thousands of times closer. Officially, the sun is classified as a G2 ...
