SUNSET: 
How Many Galaxies Are There in the Universe?
Astronomers determine the number of galaxies in the universe by counting up the number visible in a tiny portion of the sky, and then accounting for all the regions of the observable universe. A 2013 study estimates that there are 225 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
What is the age of the universe?
Determining the age of the universe requires a knowledge of the universe's expansion rate, as well as its density and composition. Cosmologists currently set the age of the universe at about 13.77 billion years.
The End of the Universe: What is our ultimate fate?
During the latter half of the 20th century, cosmologists narrowed the universe’s fate to three possibilities, and they all depend on its density.
