There are about 1011 (a 1, followed by 11 zeroes) galaxies in the known Universe. It is not currently known how much bigger the entire Universe is, compared to the known Universe.
No. 'Cosmos' is another word for 'universe'. The cosmos contain millions of galaxies.
There are at least 2 million galaxies in the COSMOS survey (with billions of stars, planets, and moons in each one; as well as asteroids and nebulae). Their light has taken 13 billion years to reach Earth.
The COSMOS 1526561 galaxy (one of the galaxies in the COSMOS survey) is a spiral galaxy 7500 million light-years from Earth in the Sextans constellation, and is 100,000 light-years in diameter, and contains about 100 billion stars.
The COSMOS 2607238 galaxy (one of the galaxies in the COSMOS survey) is a barred spiral galaxy 6300 million light-years from Earth in the Sextans constellation, and is 100,000 light-years in diameter, and contains about 100 billion stars.
The theory that suggests galaxies demonstrate the cosmos is not steady and unchanging is known as the Big Bang Theory. This theory posits that the universe began from a singular, extremely hot and dense state approximately 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. Observations of distant galaxies show that they are moving away from us, which supports the idea of an expanding universe. This expansion indicates that the cosmos is dynamic and has evolved over time, rather than being static.
The scientist who discovered distant galaxies is Edwin Hubble. In the 1920s, Hubble observed that galaxies were moving away from us, leading to the formulation of Hubble's Law, which describes the expansion of the universe. His work fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos and established galaxies as separate entities beyond the Milky Way.

In theory, all galaxies originate from the Big Bang, which is the name that describes the explosion that propelled all matter into the cosmos. All galaxies are moving. All galaxies produce energy like light and gravity. Think of galaxies like you would human beings. Although very different in some ways, they are mostly the same.
Black Holes are scattered throughout the cosmos. It is theorised that there are supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies such as ours (The Milky Way).
As you know, stars are only relevant in its cosmos. The home cosmos, there are hundreds. In the international cosmos, not a lot.
called astronomy, and it involves the observation and analysis of celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Astronomers use a variety of tools, including telescopes and satellites, to gather data and further our understanding of the cosmos.
Cosmos, in astronomy, the entire physical universe considered as a unified whole (from the Greek kosmos, meaning “order,” “harmony,” and “the world”). Generally speaking, we use the word universe to mean the entire physical universe; a synonym is cosmos.
