A video from the Hubble website regarding galaxies. Date- 24 April 08. Source- www.spacetelescope.org ‘One of the big mysteries in astronomy is how galaxies grow and evolve over time. Collisions between galaxies are thought to be key events that shape their development. A stunning collection of 59 new images of colliding galaxies has been released to mark the 18th anniversary of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. They give us a unique insight into how galaxies collide to form larger galaxies.’

Thanks for your reply, ok i realy find it difficult to understand the size of the universe but watching your videos is making things a bit clearer, i hope my next question wont be so easy for you lol, cheers hartage.
While it’s considered that the universe is infinite and the grains of sand on Earth are finite, I would say there were more stars than grains of sand. In the observable universe alone there are estimated ~100 billion galaxies, each galaxy containing ~100 billion stars and it’s believed the universe extends beyond the cosmic light horizon, the limit of what we can observe.
Another great video, yo are there more stars in the sky than grains of sand on earth i know your busy but please let me know about this, thanks hartage.
