See "related links" for a list of some important ones.

The Hubble Space Telescope alone has observed thousands, and that was just by looking at a very small patch of the sky.

There are actually millions that could be observed if we had time to do it.

In fact, astronomers calculate that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies.

In theory many of them could be observed and the number we can see will increase as our technology improves.

We don't know how many galaxies there are in the entire universe, but astronomers have found about 10,000 so far.
