stars

http://www.space.com/26078-how-many-stars-are-there.html

scientists estimate: 10 trillion galaxies x 100 billion stars per galaxy = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 x 10 to the 24th power (a septillion) stars. It took me 35 seconds to make 100 marks (5 x 20) on a piece of paper. At that rate it'd take 11,090,830,734,910,100 (11+ quadrillion) years to make 1 septillion marks. no breaks for food, potty, sleep, etc. 
a glimpse into infinity... when you take an inconceivably large number (1 septillion) and divide it by a large number (90,164,571) and get an inconceivably large number (11+ quadrillion). infinity/infinity = infinity???
