According to NASA, astronomers estimate there could be as many as one septillion stars in the universe, which is a one with 24 zeros after it. Within our galaxy ...
Star, any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. This article describes the properties and evolution of individual stars. Included in the discussion are the sizes, energetics, temperatures, masses, and chemical compositions of stars.
