This is what 200,000 galaxies looks like: It's a thumbnail of an image which is 17,000 x 11,000 pixels (click to enbiggen, by which I mean download a 250MB file). This picture was taken by the VISTA telescope in Chile, and yeah, it contains 200,000 galaxies, each of which has billions of stars. Carl Sagan would love it :)
