Just take a few minutes and gaze at this picture:

And while you are doing that, ponder this: the typical spacing between
galaxies is on the order of a million light years.  Then gaze at this
picture again.  There are about 8 foreground stars, but all the rest of
those little smudges are unimaginably large numbers of star, each of which
is large enough in itself that the mind boggles.  Does that blow your mind,
or what?
