Question:
how many galaxies do we already know are in our universe and do you know some of their names?
Answer:
I only know the name of our galaxy, 'the milky way'. Which considering that at age four i wanted to be an astronaut, is pretty poor.

The number of galaxies in the universe is something i've had to investigate. "There are probably more than 170 billion (1.7 × 1011) galaxies in the observable universe." - thoes which can be seen from earth. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy

I read somewhere that there could be up to 500 billion galaxies in total, including those beyond our observable universe. now that is a lot!

The wiki page has some names of some galaxies too. "M87", "I Zwicky 18", "Hoag's Object", "Whirlpool Galaxy".
