OSCAR

HOW BIG IS IT?
Our galaxy, the galaxy we live in, the Milky Way has between 200 and 400 BILLION stars in it.

The next galaxy, closest to us, Andromeda is much larger with about a trillion stars.

The part of the universe that we can see contains 100 to 400 billion galaxy's.  We'll never know how much more of the universe there is or if it goes on forever.

In the meantime, all eyes will be on a few over dressed "stars" posing on a red carpet, tonight, and acting as though they are are far more brilliant and important than all of those silly little points of light in the sky.  And, to the folks that make the movies and the big bucks, they are.
