For the most part, almost everything in the outer space is a mystery to mankind. Even though we have practiced astronomy for thousands of years, we are just beginning to put together this massive puzzle box. Looking up at the clear night sky is certainly an amazing sight; we know it’s not your first priority to do this but stargazing is one of the most blissful activities one can participate in – it really changes your perception of the universe and reality.
One can count about 2000-3000 stars in our observable sky. But knowing how many stars – and the unimaginable amount of galaxies – there are in the universe, we can never fully conclude that “x” amount of stars exist in the universe. But if you are looking for a perspective on how large this number is; there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on earth – let that sink in for a minute.
