10 times more Galaxies than I thought !
my sources tell me,
that there are probably at least a Trillion galaxies out there; far out there The universe — or at least the “observable universe,” the part we're theoretically capable of detecting from Earth — is much more crowded than scientists had thought. Previous estimates, based on the Hubble Deep Field images captured in the mid-1990s, suggested that around 100 billion or 200 billion galaxies swirled within our line of detection. But a new analysis suggests a figure 10 times higher than that: There may be 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, 90 percent of which are too faint for our best telescopes to detect. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...as-we-thought/ marc |
