    Number of galaxies...estimated 200 billion to 2 trillion. When you ask about size, are you referring to volume or mass? In either case, with the range of estimated numbers, it would be impossible to calculate.

    Are you  familiar with ULTIMA THULE? It is 4 BILLION MILES from earth. I am talking about the SIZE Ele . Ultima Thule is still in our galaxy..the Milky Way to be exact. So are there numbers large enough to guesstimate the answer to my question? You say it is 200 billion to 2 trillion? I had not heard that. Last I heard it was 100 -200 ESTIMATED. What is the largest number in existence?  Did you watch Nova? Are you aware of the NASA project that started in 2006 and just got to its destination January 1 2019?  That's what this is about. I figger if Ultima thule is 4 BILLION miles from earth IN THE SAME GALAXY how huge are the numbers that would encompass all the galaxies? Impossible to determine apparently. Thank you for your reply.

    Yikes...too many questions. There is no largest number because you can always add one more.
