The video explores the history and challenges of estimating the number of galaxies in the universe. Initially, estimates ranged from 100 to 200 billion galaxies based on Hubble's observations. However, a 2016 study suggested there could be two trillion galaxies, using advanced models and data from early universe studies. The video discusses the role of redshift, galaxy mergers, and the limitations of current technology.
