dotychczas widziane, obserwowane i skatalogowane lub zamieszczone na mapach. obliczył prof. E.S. Holier w Waszyngtonie i podaje ich liczbę na 875,519, zaś liczba gwiazd, jaką byśmy otrzymali wnioskując z widzianych o niewidzianych i przypuszczając jednostajne ich rozmieszczenie w przestrzeni wynosi 273,266,203.

I was trying to help my friend navigate to a super secret trailhead that nobody seemed to know. She was totally frustrated, yelling "Where are we? There is no trail here!" Good thing I was there to bring a Slice Master level of focus and patience or that trip would have been ruined.
The issue was scaling the image way beyond its original dimensions Level Devil sent me into despair the more I enlarged it, the worse it got, pixelating into oblivion. Finally, I had to completely remake it from scratch in vector format.
What a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century astronomy! The comparison between the cataloged stars and the larger number inferred from what’s visible really shows how early scientists worked with assumptions and limited instruments. It’s amazing how much they tried to quantify the night sky, even without modern telescopes. Threads like this always make me wonder what else we’d discover—though I’d kick the buddy if someone tried to oversimplify the math.
