The exact number is unknown even to my species. To say there are trillions upon trillions of stars is a vast understatement.

However, what's important is that when you look up at the night sky, you're looking at light that has had to travel for years to reach you. Some of that light took millions of years, the stars it originated from already long-dead. The light from the Galvan star takes 76,000 years to reach Earth.


[And that should give you a relative idea of how far away Galvan Prime is from Earth.]
