Well, the phrase "typical galaxy" begs a debate in itself (smile), but the most commonly heard figure for "stars in a typical galaxy" is 100 billion. And many astronomers believe there may be 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. The math gets kind of heavy duty!

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.

How many stars does the Cartwheel Galaxy contain?

Answer: These numbers are only estimates of course. Over the years estimates of the numbers of stars in our Galaxy has gradually increased. Good sources give various numbers ranging from about 200 billion up to 500 billion. I think the higher numbers are more likely to be correct. Our Milky Way Galaxy is, very roughly, average. So, a typical galaxy should contain a few hundred billion stars. Answer: It is very hard to give a "typical" number. The answer above refers mainly to our own galaxy, but there are lots of galaxies that are much, much smaller - and there are also giants that are much larger than our galaxy. Thus, a typical galaxy may contain anywhere between about 10 million stars, and a trillion (i.e., a million million) stars, although you'll probably find galaxies with more than that.
