To even fathom the size of the universe is impossible. The Milky Way is around 100,000 light years across (pretty sure we’re a smaller galaxy). Look at how many galaxies are in those photos, the distance that picture covers, I’m not sure there’s a number to cover it.
The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, so right now there are new galaxies being born that we will never be able to see. And one day there will be a civilisation somewhere that won’t know of other stars and galaxies as the universe will be expanding so fast their light will never reach them. We’re definitely lucky to exist when we do.
