Read More. I'm sixteen years old. Young, yes, but I have had the shingles. It started off as a just a pain on the ribs underneath my left boob and when it started to turn into a rash about five days later, I went to my school nurse and explained. She immediately sent me home and that day I went to the doctor.
If you assume that the XDF is a typical region of outer space, you can calculate how many XDFs it would take to fill the entire night sky; itâs about 32 million. Multiply by the number of galaxies you find in the XDFâwhich is around 5,500âand thatâs how we arrive at 176 billion galaxies, at least, in the Universe.
This is a difficult number to know for certain, since we can only see a fraction of the Universe, even with our most powerful instruments. The most current estimates guess that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe, each of which has hundreds of billions of stars. A recent German supercomputer simulation put that number even higher: 500 billion. In other words, there could be a galaxy out there for every star in the Milky Way.
