No matter where we look in space, in any direction, we see that the Universe is filled with stars and galaxies absolutely everywhere. As far as stars go, on a clear, dark night, the naked human eye can see about 6000 of them, but that’s just a tiny fraction of all that’s out there. Our Milky Way galaxy, our cosmic home in the Universe, spans over 100,000 light-years in diameter and contains approximately 400 billion stars. Whereas about 20 years ago, we thought there were about 60 galaxies, total, in our Local Group — with one of them, Andromeda, containing even more stars than we do — we now know that there are likely hundreds of galaxies or more within our Local Group, with most of them being small, low-mass dwarf galaxies, containing fewer than 0.1% of the stars our Milky Way possesses.
