the Amount of distance between us and the other stars or galaxies is depressing because even if achieve the speed of light, the closest stars to us are about 4-8 lights years away and the closest galaxy is about 25,000 light years away. There are about 300 billion stars in our galaxy and about 500 billion galaxies in the universe and Imagine if the multi-verse theory is true
How Many Stars Are in the Universe?
For the Universe, the galaxies are our small representative volumes, and there are something like 10 to the power11 to 10 to the power12 stars in our Galaxy, and there are perhaps something like 10 to the power 11 or 10 to the power 12 galaxies.
With this simple calculation you get something like 10 to the power 22 to 10 to the power 24 stars in the Universe (or say one Octillion!!). This is only a rough number, as obviously not all galaxies are the same, just like on a beach the depth of sand will not be the same in different places.
