Exploring the Universe's Mysteries

The video explores the concept of galaxies, starting with an introduction to what galaxies are and the size of the Milky Way. It then discusses the Hubble Space Telescope's discovery of thousands of galaxies in a seemingly empty part of the sky, suggesting there are several trillion galaxies observable. The video concludes with a discussion on the limits of the observable universe, the potential infinity of the universe, and the unknown total number of galaxies.

What is a galaxy primarily composed of?

• Planets

• Comets
