You had to wait until goodvtelescope resolve the streak of the Mily Way was made of stars. Ditto that some the smudges in the sky were galaxies made of stars. That was one ofvEdwin Hubble's great discoveries.
- Retric 9y agoThis may be part of the confusion there are ~9 galaxies visible to the naked eye and ~13 nebula, but they don't count as a star. Similarly binary stars should only count if you can't see both stars. Remove all the stuff that's not individual stars and there are significantly fewer points remaining.
