How many stars are in just the Milky Way galaxy? "Depending on whom you ask, there may be anywhere between 200 billion and 1 trillion stars out there".
Now, there are supposedly ~one hundred billion galaxies in the universe. It is extremely mind-boggling how large is the universe. And then where is the physical end to the universe, a concept that doesn't even make sense? Maybe it just winds back around?
... gonna have to go with infinity here .... having the ability to observe them all is astounding ....

I thinkk the universe works like that old Asteroids video game. When your spaceship exits into the upper right corner it reenters on the lower left.
It's mind boggling. More mind boggling than almost anything that we can imagine.
One can speculate that no matter how advanced humans become we may never be able to know some things because the speed of light causes us to only be able to know(speculate) some things about the "observable universe"

Visualization of the whole observable universe. The scale is such that the fine grains represent collections of large numbers of superclusters. The Virgo Supercluster—home of Milky Way—is marked at the center, but is too small to be seen. | |

Our nearest parallel universe is just a touch out of time. Anthony T. Hincks
The ghosts that we see, are us or our friends in another dimension. Anthony T. Hincks
There's a life that takes place in ordinary time, and another that bursts in but just as suddenly fizzles out. And then there's the life we may never reach but that could so easily be ours if only we knew how to find it. It doesn't necessarily happen on our planet, but is just as real as the one we live by. Call it our 'star life. André Aciman
Nietzsche wrote that estranged friends may become declared enemies but in some mysterious way continue to remain friends, though on a totally different sphere. He called these 'star friendships. André Aciman
A mathematician makes plans to travel backwards in time through a wormhole to a parallel universe, when he can't even make it to Mars with the fastest rocket on hand today. Bill Gaede
