Putting the Size of the Observable Universe in Perspective. The age of the universe is about 13.75 billion years. The diameter of the observable universe is estimated at about 28 billion parsecs (93 billion light-years). As a reminder, a light-year is a unit of length equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres (or about 6 trillion miles).
And so, if you multiply the number of stars in our galaxy by the number of galaxies in the Universe, you get approximately 10 24 stars. Thatâs a 1 followed by twenty-four zeros. Thatâs a septillion stars. But there could be more than that.Itâs been calculated that the observable Universe is a bubble of space 47 billion years in all directions. It defines the amount of the Universe that we can see, because thatâs how long light has taken to reach us since the Big Bang.ur Sun is located about 27,000 light-years from the galactic core in the Orion arm. Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars of various sizes and brightness. A few are supergiants, like Betelgeuse or Rigel.
