Indeed they do. In fact, they are all pretty close. The universe is one big place! :-)
Yes and the universe is mind boggling. To think there are millions? of stars in our galaxy and there are billions? of galaxies.
I love sci fi. Is there a good web site that is "short and sweet" that explains in laymans terms the numbers of galaxies and the number of stars in each? I know that we are not able to count them all but there is probaly a web site that has pics such as the "basketball court" analogy.
I might be wrong but I have read that the great galaxy in Andromeda can be visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Ditto for another in Triangulum although it is much fainter.
