How Many Stars Are In The Known Universe?
~~~~~~Exclusive for THE STRANGE~~~~~ Our Galaxy has about 200 billion stars according to Michio Kaku’s book “Hyperspace”. Some estimate there are as many as 200 billion galaxies in this universe. Our Galaxy is called the Milky Way Galaxy. Some estimate there are 250 billion stars in our galaxy. The diameter of our galaxy is about 100,000 light years. A light year is equal to 5,878,500,000,000 miles or about 5,900 trillion miles. Thus, the diameter of our galaxy is about 590,000,000 trillion miles. Galaxies normally form groups or clusters. If we include the 11 Milky Way satellite galaxies as part of the Milky Way Galaxy, our Local Group of galaxies consists of about 20 galaxies. Some believe that our Local Group may some day be “eaten” by the Virgo cluster. This would be something similar but on a larger scale to the Sagittarius Galaxy, which is about 1,000 light years across, that is apparently being pulled apart by the gravitational force of our Milky Way Galaxy. When we consider tha
