		According to a study by Australian astronomers there are 70 sextillion (70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) stars in the known universe.
		That number was then multiplied by the number of similar sized strips needed to cover the entire sky, Driver said, and then multiplied again out to the edge of the visible universe.
		He said there were likely many million more stars in the universe but the 70 sextillion figure was the number visible within range of modern telescopes.

		Simon Driver of the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics said the number was more than every grain of sand on all the beaches and deserts on Earth.
		Driver said his team was able to claim the best estimate yet of the number of stars because improved telescopes allowed more accurate counts of galaxies while modern cosmological measurements have given a better picture of the geometry of the universe.
		"This is not the total number of stars in the universe, but it's the number within the range of our telescopes," Driver said of his team's figure of 70 sextillion.

	News in Science - Number of visible stars put at 70 sextillion - 25/07/2003
		The universe contains about 70 sextillion - or 70 thousand million million million - observable stars, according to the most accurate estimate yet made of the number - a figure that far exceeds all previous estimates.
		The calculation was made by a team led by astronomer Dr Simon Driver of the Australian National University in Canberra and announced this week at the 25th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Sydney.
		Even so, 70 sextillion is greater than the estimated number of sand grains on all the world's beaches and deserts - about 10 times more.

	70 sextillion stars in 'known universe'
		According to a study by a team of stargazers based at the Australian National University, there are 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (70,000 million million million, or 70 sextillion) stars in the known universe.
		Two telescopes, one at the Anglo-Australian Observatory in northern New South Wales state and one in the Canary Islands, were used to carry out the survey.
		According to him, it is likely that there are many more million stars, but 70 sextillion was the number visible within range of modern telescopes.

		In their statistical report, that sample was then multiplied by the number of similar sized strips needed to cover the entire sky, and then multiplied again out to the edge of the visible universe.
		How the geometry is laid out across the sky, in turn, depends on the enclosing space defined by both the power of the telescopes and key constants for the size and age of the universe.
		Compared to 70 sextillion, the cellular capacity terrestrially is estimated to be what can be called one undecillion, or ten raised to the power of 30.

		This means there could be upwards of 70 sextillion stars in the entire universe.
		(70 sextillion is 7 followed by 22 zeros - try writing that out) That means there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand from all the world's beaches and deserts combined.
		Of the 70 sextillion stars floating in the universe only 5780 are visible with the naked eye in ideal viewing circumstances.

		At one point when he was under cross-examination, he stated that the probability of any 50 of these prophecies being precisely fulfilled was 11 sextillion 250 quintillion to one.
		No reasonable person can believe that Dobbs or anyone else could possibly do this, because the very moment that the least element of doubt arose in any one of the 49 remaining steps (after proving prophecy fulfillment in the massacre of the innocents), the entire probability argument would collapse like a house of cards.
		Dobbs's math is correct in his calculation of probability, the odds against his proving that Jesus fulfilled 50 different prophecies would be over 11 sextillion to one.

		The scientists from the Anglo-Australian observatory worked out the figure by measuring the brightness of a small sector of the sky containing around 10,000 galaxies.

		For example, in the American system, the rough equivalent of a zettabyte is called sextillion.
		In more formal and definitive terms, a zettabyte is 2 to the 70th power bytes (2^70 = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424), which is approximately the same as the view from all other math calculations of a sextillion, 10 to the 21st power bytes, (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
		A zettabyte is also equal to 1,024 exabytes but in that perspective, the paradox shows itself.

		According to the new figures, the Earth weighs 5.972 sextillion -- thats 5,972 followed by 18 zeroes -- metric tons.
		Previous estimates put the globes mass at 5.98 sextillion metric tons.
		Jens Gundlach and Stephen Merkowitz, of the University of Washington, arrived at the new figure by refining the measurement of Newtons gravitational constant, or G, which tells us how much gravitational force acts between two masses separated by a known distance.
