Astronomers gathered at the Conference of the Astronomical International Union, in Sydney, Australia, consider that there is more stars in the sky than grains of sand in all the beaches and deserts of the whole world.
And the figure to which they arrived is astronomical!
There are 70 sextillions of stars. In other words: the number seven followed by 22 zeros.
This means that the number of stars in the visible universe is much bigger that the quantity of grains of sand in the whole planet Earth. And this is just taking into account the actual reach of modern telescopes. Doctor Simon Drive from the Australian National University pointed out that the real number can be even bigger.
