How Many Stars Are in The Milky Way? More Than You Can Imagine
So how many stars are there? Given all of the above, astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains around 100 billion stars, and there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
The Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet framework extends Einstein’s theory of General Relativity by including a higher-order curvature term that gains dynamical relevance in dimensions beyond four. This approach ...
