[Ochako smiles, but she can sense there a bit of distress in this person, so she won't push the matter further, for now, but it's clear she certainly doesn't believe that...not entirely, anyway. Yes, being passionate about something to the point of looking it up and learning, memorizing, and simply knowing facts about it is admirable, but anyone can do it. It's not a skill or a talent gifted to a select few - anyone can have that passion in them at any time. They just need to find the spark to trigger it.
Anyway, back to the question. Her lips curl into a devious grin, and she chuckles a little bit, hands behind her back as she stares down the Quiz-bot and rocks back and forth on her heels, letting herself hum thoughtfully and even chance a glance up at the sky. Is this what is feels like, facing a great opponent, and knowing you have the upper hand? It's kind fun.]
Aah...that sounds like a tough one. How could anyone possibly measure the stars in the sky? It all seems so far away... [Do you give u--] There are approximately 9,096 stars visible to the human eye in the night sky at once, combing the northern and southern hemispheres of the globe.
It sounds small, right?
The naked eye can only see up to a magnitude of 6.5 in most cases, so using that information to calculate the visible depth of stars in the sky was easy for astronomers with the tools and previously collected data of the sky at their disposal. To calculate the stars in the galaxy is, eheh...an astronomical task, but that's been attempted as well. But that wasn't your question, so I win.
