of hundreds of billions of stars.
Think of the Milky Way — or search for pictures of it online — and you'll see images of a standard spiral galaxy viewed face - on, a sprawling pinwheel of starlight and dust
containing hundreds of billions of stars.
Given that the Milky Way alone has
hundreds of billions of stars, and there are many hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions of galaxies in the universe, and there may even be multiple universes, it is statistically certain that at least a few percentage of those trillions of stars will host some intelligent life.
With hundreds of billions of galaxies each containing
hundreds of billions of stars, many of which have several planets circling them, the chance that life would pop up somewhere in the universe is almost 100 %.
