==Number of Stars==
The [[Bible]] implies that the number of stars is virtually countless<ref>Jeremiah 33:22</ref>, but for many years this was not accepted. [[Hipparchus]] in 128 B.C. stated there were 1,026 stars in the sky. [[Kepler]] in 1600 A.D. did his own count and found the number to be 1,005. Today, thanks to the [[Hubble telescope]] among other methods, the actual number is put at 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/07/22/stars.survey Star survey reaches 70 sextillion</ref>
