Here’s a thought to ponder the next time you go stargazing: Scientists now believe that instead of an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe, there are one TRILLION! (Whoops, we were just off by a modest factor of 10!)

P.S. Here’s another question to ponder: If there are so many stars in the universe, why is the sky still dark at night?
