This finding promises to tell astronomers more about the evolution and structure of majestic giant spirals, one of the most common
types of galaxies in the universe.
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.
Out of the billions
of galaxies in the universe Out of the billions of systems and planets Out of the hundreds of gods humans have produced You have the hubris to think that your little god listens to your prayers And if you don't believe then that little loving god will burn you for eternity.
You probably get the idea at this point, but just to hammer it home: On average, galaxies are separated by millions of light years — and the latest estimates put the number
of galaxies in the universe at around 500 billion.
Besides the myriad of galaxies visible in this image, only 10 percent of the total
number of galaxies in the universe are observable for the current generation of telescopes, according to a new analysis of the GOODS and other Hubble deep - field surveys.
The result was the Hubble Deep Field, a series of images that doubled astronomers» estimates of the number
of galaxies in the universe to at least 50 billion.
If the galaxies turn out to be very old, a distinct possibility, it may mean that astronomers will have to revise not only their count of the number
of galaxies in the universe but the history of galaxies as well.
A much better answer — the answer we would give today — is that there are billions of planets in our galaxy, and billions
of galaxies in the universe.
He said that if such life does not exist in the solar system, then possibly in some of the billions
of galaxies in the universe.
The dwarf ellipticals may be the most common type
of galaxy in the universe (or maybe the dwarf irregulars are).
The sun is just one of about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, which is just one of the billions
of galaxies in the universe.
When you consider that there are around 300 billion stars in just the Milky Way, and billions
of galaxies in the universe, and thus an almost inconceivable number of planets in the universe, it's easy to see why many scientists believe alien life to be a near certainty.
