Putting the Size of the Observable Universe in Perspective. The age of the universe is about 13.75 billion years. The diameter of the observable universe is estimated at about 28 billion parsecs (93 billion light-years). As a reminder, a light-year is a unit of length equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres (or about 6 trillion miles).
each of which contains nearly a trillion stars, the whole thing is really, really big. And, after nearly 14 billion years of expansion since the big bang, the part of the Universe we can see â the observable Universe â is 93 billion light years across! But thereâs more Universe outside of what we see.
