I've seen several different estimations of the number of stars in the universe. Recently, The Conversation, an online independent news organization, published this article by Brian Jackson: How many stars are there in Space?

He estimates there are approximately 2 trillion galaxies with each having an average of 100 billion stars giving a total of 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars.
