Greetings everyone,

Astronomers have estimated that the number of stars in the known universe is 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - that is seventy sextillion, apparently more than all of the grains of sand on all of the deserts and beaches in the world.

And that is only the known universe. Astronomers are finally arriving at the conclusion that the universe is indeed infinite. Of course, we know that applies not only to the physical universe, but the universe in all of its spheres.

With best regards,

Adrian.
