There are over one hundred billion galaxies in the universe!

"We pointed the most powerful telescope ever built by human beings at absolutely nothing, for no other reason than because we were curious, and discovered that we occupy a very tiny place in the heavens." 1996: over 3000 galaxies are discovered; 2004: over ten thousand galaxies racing away from us in an ever-expanding universe! 47 billion light years away from us! Now we think there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe!
