Are there more visible galaxies than stars? (Discounting of course that those galaxies are comprised of stars.)
- malfist 1y agoIt's estimated their similar in number. 100b galaxies in the _visible_ universe and the Milky Way has around 100b stars
- Retric 1y agoWe haven’t detected every star in the Milky Way, low mass stars that stars can be very dim. However we can also detect individual stars in the Andromeda galaxy and several others as well.
