The following is based on my research via google search and a calculator. Not all information may be accurate.
Of the seven planets in our solar system, there are 285 moons orbiting in total.
Spoiler
Venus: 0
Earth: 1
Mars: 2
Jupiter: 95
Saturn: 146
Uranus: 27
Neptune: 14
Including Pluto, 290. But if you count satellites orbiting smaller objects, such as other dwarf planet moons and asteroids, then that number jumps to 752. That we know of. There could be more.
And that's for one star system.
Of the milky way, there are about 100 thousand million stars. (100,000,000) If we assume there are roughly the same amount of moons per star system, that's 752 moons times 100,000,000 stars, which equals 752,000,000.
But there are many more galaxies than just the milky way. Estimates say that there are roughly two trillion galaxies in the observable universe alone. 752 moons per star system times 100,000,000 stars per galaxy times 2,000,000,000,000 galaxies equals 1.504 times 10 to the 23rd power, in scientific notation. (1.504*10^23) Written out, this number is 150400000000000000000000. That is one hundred fifty sextillion four hundred quintillion. That's... a lot of moons.
But there could be more galaxies outside the observable universe. Tens of millions of billions of trillions... of googols (1 with 100 zeroes.) Or, just 2. We don't know. There could be an infinite number of stars, of galaxies, of planets, of moons out there, or maybe it's finite. We just don't know what's outside the observable universe, or what isn't.
On March 27, a planetary parade made up of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Uranus will march across the sky. To see all the 5 planets in our night sky along with our moon, you will have to wait until approximately 20 to 25 minutes after the sun has set. Wtach out for Uranus, it will be the hardest to spot as this friend is faaaaar away.
I hope we all get the opportunity to see the alignment of 5 of the planets of our solar system. You know what's even more special for me my birthday is on the 28, and I take it as a cute lil pre-birthday surprise from our majestic space xD

This is an ode to my stardust lover
Bathed in robes of white dwarfs,
wearing a crown of yellow supergiants.
She smiles and calls my name,
and her eyes draw me in like black holes.
I met her deep in the embrace of the cosmos,
in my suit of sky-blue and milk-white eyeshadow.
She giggled, taking my hand to drag me along.
Supernovas lit my heart ablaze.
How could I not follow her?
She leaped from solar system to solar system,
leaving a trail of eclipses in her wake.
I tried to match her footsteps,
tried to turn planets into trampolines,
but I ended up tripping on Saturn’s rings.
And with a girl with a hot blue star belt,
I just waited to be left behind.
I was nothing compared to her, really.
I didn’t have a crown on my head.
I barely had any stars on my suit.
But before I could pull myself up,
she kneeled beside me and smiled.
I tried to protest, but she just stroked my arm.
She pulled me up, wiping off the stardust.
Then, it was her hand in mine, steady forward march.
We now sit together on five-pointed stars,
making our own constellations,
naming them as if they were our children.
She retakes my hand with that same giggle,
and my heart still burst
Do you all have any poems you wrote thinking about the magical cosmos, do share!

I hope you have fun!!!
So it's been a loooong time since our last space party so what do you all think about having our next space write-in party on <span style="font-weight: bold">August 11, 2021 at 7:00 pm</span>. I hope everyone is free on that day and at that time if not tell me I can maybe change it a bit.
I am looking forward to seeing you all in the party and this time it will be a little different I will be arranging a little game in the pad to make it a bit more interesting so make sure to visit it even for a little time.
Byeeeeee
I wanna learn more about the solarsystem and where everything is and what it is as a whole but am not sure where to look
