HOW MANY GALAXIES ARE THERE?

Current numbers are just estimates. NASA “estimates” the universe to be 92 billion light years across. Here is a Hubble deep field image. If you hold up your thumb to the night sky and just look at the portion behind the thumbnail, this is what you would see. I believe every light in this is a galaxy.

It’s really hard to wrap your head around just how big the universe is.
