Inspiration. Inspiration is the step where you decide what sort of character you want to play. I consider this the heart-strings step. You have found something you love to play, something you want to play.
In the end, it comes down to an estimate. In one calculation, the Milky Way has a mass of about 100 billion solar masses, so it is easiest to translate that to 100 billion stars. This accounts for the stars that would be bigger or smaller than our sun, and averages them out.Other mass estimates bring the number up to 400 billion.illions and billions of stars in a galaxy (after a quote often mistakenly attributed to Carl Sagan) is how many people imagine the number of stars you would find in one.
As a result, estimates of how many stars there are come down to calculations of our galaxy's mass, and estimates of how much of that mass is made up of stars. Based on these calculations, scientists estimate that the Milky Way contains between 100 and 400 billion stars (though some think there could be as many as a trillion). Doing the math, we can then say that the Milky Way galaxy has â on average â between 800 billion and 3.2 trillion planets, with some estimates placing that number as high a 8 trillion!
