Galaxies

In The Urantia Book the word galaxy is used interchangeably with universe, or is used in the expression “universe of galaxies” to refer to star formations in uninhabited outer space 11:7.7-9 12:4.15 40:10.8 112:7.16-17

The Book claims that 375 million new galaxies will soon be observed by astronomers. Today one of the largest catalogs of galaxies, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been able to catalog 100 million objects. The most recent catalogue, PS1-STRM, has been able to catalog 2.9 billion objects 12:2.3

The Milky Way galaxy appears to be closely related to the Orvonton superuniverse, or perhaps the two are equivalent 15:3.4 15:4.8-9
