It is amazing how many you can see on a clear night if you get away from man made lights. What you can see changes so much depending on how much man made light is there.

Billions upon billions upon billions of galaxies, each one with billions upon billions upon billions of stars. Some of the stars we see don't exist anymore, some stars that exist can't be seen yet. The universe as created by God is unfathomably big, and complex. The human mind can't comprehend it. The stars that you see at night, even on the darkest of nights, are all within our own galaxy. We can see other galaxies, the andromeda galaxy with the naked eyes and others with magnification,but we can't even see individual stars outside our own galaxy.

I believe some of those "stars" you see are actually distant galaxies.
