A study by Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum just took the estimated number of stars in the universe. There are 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or 100 sextillion but tripled it. He came out with this news in 2010, a big interesting discovery for humanity. Van Dokkum’s study in the journal "Nature" focuses on red drafts, a class of small, cool stars. They’re so small and cool, in fact, that up to now astronomers haven’t been able to spot them in galaxies outside our own. That’s a serious holdup when you’re trying to account for all the stars there are.But here are some secondary implications in we take a better look: more stars means more opportunities for life!!!
Do you think there is any type of life in the universe???
