Due to pollution in cities like Delhi, stars are sometimes visible after rain. But the skies of the villages are still filled with the glow of these stars. In childhood, children often look at the sky and count the stars, but this counting is so long that it is almost impossible to complete it. However, now some scientists have claimed that they have answers to the question, how many stars are there in the sky? is the answer. Let us know today in this article how much strength is there in this answer and whether humans really have the correct count of stars now.
Is counting the stars possible?
Carl Sagan is an American astronomer. He claimed during a TV show that there are more stars in the universe than the number of beaches and grains of sand on Earth. However, it is difficult to say at the moment how much truth he has in this matter. But a claim made by Cambridge University astronomer Professor Gary Girmore seems to have merit. Let us now know about that claim.
What is Gary Girmore’s theory?
Gary Girmore is an astronomer professor at Cambridge University. Their job is to find the stars present in our galaxy. Actually, Gary is working on a project under which the stars present in our Milky Way are counted through the European Space Ship. While talking to BBC, Gary had said about the number of stars that there are about 20 thousand crore stars in our galaxy. If we talk about the universe, there are 10 thousand crore galaxies in it. That means there are 20 thousand crore stars in one galaxy and a total of 10 thousand crore galaxies in the universe. If we multiply these, the number that comes out is 20000000000000000000000.
