Yes. An average galaxy contains at least 100 billion stars.
The average number of stars in a dwarf galaxy is several billion.
The average number of stars in a dwarf galaxy since it contains a few million to several billion stars with as few as ten million (107) stars.
Yes. Some dwarf galaxies do contain 1 billion stars.
The average number of stars in a giant galaxy since it contains trillions of stars is 10 trillion.
The estimated number of galaxy mergers, given that there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe, is 100 billion.
The estimated number of galaxy groups, given that there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe, is 100 to 200 billion.
Since T2003 767 is an elliptical galaxy 12.5 billion light years from us, it will take 12.5 billion years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 12.5 billion years for any reply from an alien civilization).
Since MDC2010 1721 is a dwarf galaxy 13.1 billion light years from us, it will take 13.1 billion years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 13.1 billion years for any reply from an alien civilization).
Since T2003 1423 is a spiral galaxy 12.5 billion light years from us, it will take 12.5 billion years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 12.5 billion years for any reply from an alien civilization).
I don't know if it's 200 billion or not. Never know.
When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.
Since T2003 1529 is a spiral galaxy 12.7 billion light years from us, it will take 12.7 billion years for the message to reach its intended designation (and an additional 12.7 billion years years for any reply from an alien civilization).
