Based on current estimates, there are between 200 - 400 billion stars in our galaxy (The Milky Way). There are possibly 100 billion galaxies in the Universe. So taking the average of our galaxy, gives approximately 3 x 1024 stars. So about 3 septillion. This has been equated to the same number of grains of sand that are on Earth.

One source (BBC) stated that there are about 1,000 stars to every grain of sand on Earth!! There are an estimated 100 to 200 billion galaxies.

So taking a conservative number of 100 billion stars per galaxy gives an approximate total of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. (Which is 10 sextillion)

The newest estimates gained by the Hubble space telescope places the estimate of 500 billion Galaxies each with about 300 billion stars for each galaxy.

There are estimated to be around 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe, and each galaxy can contain anywhere from millions to trillions of stars. This means there are likely trillions upon trillions of stars in the universe.

How many stars out there?

trillions If our galaxy with 2*1011 (two hundred billion) stars is an average size galaxy. and there are as many galaxies in the Universe as there are stars in our galaxy, then there are possibly 4*1022 stars in the Universe. But that is just a guess. There are most certainly more than 1018 stars.
