Stars in the Universe - Millions, Billions, Trillions

How Many stars in this our Universe?
100 Kharab Kharab or 1 Trillion Trillion Stars in this our Universe. इस ब्रह्मांड में कितने तारे सुनीता? How many Stars, O Sunita?
How many Stars are there in this Universe? I did some internet search and found something. Well according to an estimate there are 100 Kharab Kharab or 1 Trillion Trillion Stars in this our Universe, and there may be more. This figure was provided ~~>> 10,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 (I have shifted the commas, rest all is same).
See http://www.space.com/26078-how-many-stars-are-there.html .


They are saying that there are 24 zeros (0's) after 1 - so that means that the figure is '100 Kharab Kharab' or '10 Lakh Arab Arab' or '1000 Crore Crore Crore' or '10 Arab Lakh Lakh Lakh' or '1 Lakh Lakh Crore Crore' (अपनी अपनी चुन लो भई, अपना अपना देख लो - जिसको जैसे समझ आये | बोले तो suit yourself) stars in the universe. For the uninitiated, which none of you are, the sequence of increasing nos (if you are British in your head - I am) goes like this ~~>> Unit, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand, Lakh, Ten Lakh, Crore, Ten Crore, Arab, Ten Arab, Kharab, Ten Kharab. And that is how the figure of 100 Kharab Kharab has been arrived at when I PAINSTAKINGLY calculate what that darn figure is.


Now if you are American in your head then this will make more sense to you ~~>> there are 1 Billion Quadrillion or 1000 Million Quadrillion or 1000 Billion Trillion or 1 Trillion Trillion (again suit yourself, अपने हिसाब से समझ लो भई |) stars in the Universe.

The sequence of increasing nos is thus ~~>> Unit, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand, Lakh, Million, Ten Million, Hundred Million, Billion, Ten Billion, Hundred Billion, Trillion, Ten Trillion, Hundred Trillion, Quadrillion, Ten Quadrillion, Hundred Quadrillion, Quintillion, .. In fact they will not say Lakh, they will say 0.1 Million, and they won't say Thousand I suppose, they'd rather use 0.001 Million for that, anyway ..
There is the usage of zillion also at places. I don't know what it is.

.. The simplest answer may be to estimate the number of stars in a typical galaxy, and then multiply that by the estimated number of galaxies in the universe. But even that is tricky, as some galaxies shine better in visible or some in infrared, for example. There also are estimation hurdles that must be overcome.

In October 2016, an article in Science (based on deep-field images from the Hubble Space Telescope) suggested that there are about 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, or about 10 times more galaxies than previously suggested. In an email with Live Science, lead author Christopher Conselice, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, said there were about 100 million stars in the average galaxy.

Telescopes may not be able to view all the stars in a galaxy, however. A 2008 estimate by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (which catalogs all the observable objects in a third of the sky) found about 48 million stars, roughly half of what astronomers expected to see. A star like our own sun may not even show up in such a catalog. So, many astronomers estimate the number of stars in a galaxy based on its mass — which has its own difficulties, since dark matter and galactic rotation must be filtered out before making an estimate. ..

.. Kornreich used a very rough estimate of 10 trillion galaxies in the universe. Multiplying that by the Milky Way's estimated 100 billion stars results in a large number indeed: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, or a "1" with 24 zeros after it. Kornreich emphasized that number is likely a gross underestimation, as more detailed looks at the universe will show even more galaxies. ..

Totally unsolicited research work that one. How Many Quadrillion Dollars will ya pay me for this information?
This article also says that there may be more Universes and they may all be in what may be called a Multiverse. In fact Multiverse I believe in, because our Vedas or Upanishads mention the fact that 'from the navel of Vishnu (in Ksheer Sagar) are emerging Brahmas' (or Universes, implication wise). There is not 1 Brahma, there are many Brahmas. I believe that. ..

अच्छा हाँ, (Sunita) सुनीता एक प्रॉप (prop) ही है, आपने सही अंदाज़ा लगाया |
.. How many grains of sand on this Earth? Who's doing this research?
