Cool story. I still can't wrap my head around how many galaxies are out there.

Right, it's already tough to wrap your head around the stars/galaxy count, but now that the JWST is around, the galaxy count is insane. Just the overall scope of space and the things in it is really something that I don't think your avg person can REALLY wrap their head around. That's like trying to imagine/picture "grains of sand on the planet" or "drops of water in the world's oceans". You can give me a number and I "understand" the number, but understanding and really wrapping your head around it are kind of 2 different things.
