Check out “GENIUS” I think episode 2 or 3. Hawking provides a visual demonstration of the number of stars in our galaxy alone, using grains of sand ... in fact a mound of sand built by bulldozers. And then he throws in the number of galaxies. This makes the unimaginable into the understandable.

Yes, conservatively that many. And then for extra fun, as many stars in the universe as there are, you get that many H2O molecules in 10 drops of water.
And also, a human brain has far more neuron connections than either of those numbers.
We are very complicated.
