There are 100 billion galaxies in the visible universe if we could see all the way back to the Big Bang at 13.5 billion lightyears. That is as many galaxies as there are stars in the Milky Way.

However, we can see only 10^-30 of the entire universe since most of it is beyond the light horizon even though all of it came into being at the time of the Big Bang. That would mean there are 10⁵⁰ stars in the universe.

There are 100 billion neurons in the brain. There have been 100 billion humans over the past x number of millenia. Our universe of brain neurons is the same size as the visible universe.

The earth is one celestial body of thousands in the solar system. It is like a raindrop among all the rain, oceans, lakes, rivers on earth. It is like a raindrop among all the bodies of water on every planet in the Milky Way.

We are lords of all we survey. We can see one drop of water in a galaxy of water; we are midway between atoms and visible universes in size.
