We don't even know how many stars there are in the cosmos. We now use our best estimate of the number of stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Then we increase that figure by our best estimation for the number of galaxies in the cosmos. After all of that calculation, NASA can confidently state that there are zillions upon zillions of uncountable stars. A billion is an endless number.

The city got its name from the Hindi word khaujur, which means "date," since the city walls were covered in date palms. Khajuraho was known as Khajjurpura in ancient times.

Toby Gard, the creator of Lara Croft, joked that it became clear that Tomb Raider needed a female protagonist when he realised that third-person games require a lot of staring at the main character's butt, so he should probably make that butt a lady's butt to keep him sane during the long hours. In reality, Core was probably afraid of being sued by Lucasfilm for their obvious Indiana Jones rip-off, so they needed a new character who couldn't be confused with Harrison Ford. The simplest way to accomplish this was to switch genders.

 According to the study, nearly 58 percent of all tree species are single-country endemics, meaning they only occur naturally within the borders of a single country. The highest totals for endemic tree species are found in Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia, which makes sense given the overall biodiversity found in their native forests. The study's authors write, "The countries with the most country-endemic tree species reflect broader plant diversity trends (Brazil, Australia, China) or islands where isolation has resulted in speciation (Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia)."

Understanding the essential concepts of Buddhism may require, well, a Buddha, but that doesn't imply that ordinary people can't strive for the peace and understanding that Buddha possesses. "Buddha literally means 'the awakened one.' "Budh" means "awakened," and "Buddh-a" implies "one who has awakened from illusion." It indicates that anyone can become awakened. "You, too, can be Buddh-a," Marcel explains. Being compassionate to others, whether Buddhist or not, enriches their lives—and yours.
