1 The Milky Way, our home galaxy, is estimated to contain a hundred billion or so stars. It is part of a local group of 19 galaxies (each with 100 billion stars), which in turn is part of a larger local super-cluster of thousands of galaxies. Astronomers currently estimate that there are perhaps 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
