Hundreds of billions. I love this question.
Up untill 1923,Astronomers believed that the entire universe
consisted of the Milky Way Galaxy.
In 1923,Edwin Hubble aimed the telescope at Palomar Observatory into what was thought to be a Nebula of gas and discovered the Andromeda Galaxy,a spiral similar to our own and our closest galaxy neighbor.At that moment the universe doubled in size.Since then astronomers have discovered as many GALAXIES as there are stars in just our own Milky way Galaxy!
