Answer

The stars are organized into galaxies, each containing billions or even trillions of stars, as well as many planets. Most galaxies are further organized into groups called clusters and into larger superclusters
According to astronomy reference works, the average observer can see 2,862 stars in the skies over a fairly dark suburb in northern latitudes. But not all these stars are above the local horizon at any given time; many rise and set. Furthermore, many stars that are easily visible when directly overhead are invisible when nearer the horizon. That is because at such low altitudes, the star&rsquo;s light must pass through more of earth&rsquo;s atmosphere in order to reach an observer&rsquo;s eyes. Sky & Telescope concludes that for an observer at a latitude of 40 degrees north, some 1,809 stars would be visible throughout the year.
