Now this photo is 10,000 galaxies.
The width of field is very, very small, and is taken in a sector that has few nearby stars to blot out the light.
So, there must be millions, if not billions of galaxies out there we’ve never seen.......................

Recent reliable estimates of the total number of galaxies in the portion of our universe that is observable are in the range of hundreds of billions of galaxies, averaging roughly two hundred billion stars per galaxy.
