Have to wonder how many of those balls of light in that pic are unresolved galaxies.

None. They’re lightbulbs in the firmament that nasa sends hot air balloons up to change periodically.

Duh.

You took that? Incredable...

according to Wikipedia it has around a trillion stars.

That's 1,000,000,000,000... now since we have 9 planets revolving around our star... we will use 9 as a basis for this calculation...

that is 9,000,000,000,000 planets in that galaxy alone... Just that one galaxy...

Yup... we are alone...

Can’t wait for the new telescope to be projecting images.

That's an awful premise though. Here's the Kepler data.
