friends as we all know that galaxies are huge star system,made of star and large amount of gas and dust. They come in a range of sizes and shapes consisting of millions,billions or even trillions of stars. Our universe is full of galaxies but have you ever thought that "how many galaxies are there in the universe..?"

I wouldn't know how many galaxies there are in the outer space. Try asking scientists or professionals or something.

That may be a possibility. With so many planets, which only about 573 have been discovered until now, The chance of finding life is not impossible. The true problem is, if we are capable to find it. I just hope that we can advance our knowledge enough so that it is possible someday.

It is really amazing. I would say beyond my imagination. The universe is so so huge with so many galaxies, and it would be beyond concievable limits. I some times get to read the reports of Astronomers, and feel so amazed with the findings.

If the scientists say that the universe has no limit so there is unlimited number of galaxies. We have no advance technology sufficient enough to count them. As for me imagine something what is unlimited it's hard so I would like to believe that someday we will know bigger numbers of galaxies than we know now.
