There was a study done by a group of Australian astronomers where they calculated (somehow) that there are approximately 70,000 million million million (or 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) stars in the known Universe, which means these are just the ones that we can see with our telescopes.  This is supposed to be 10 times the number of grains of sand on all the beaches and deserts in the world.

Australia's national colours in sporting events are gold and green. The reason why can be found here:

You can try to count the stars, but there are as many stars in the Universe as there are grains of sand on the beach.  It would be a very difficult task and take millions of lifetimes to complete.  Sorry.

The twelve yellow stars on a blue field were officially adopted as the symbol of the European Community on 26 May 1986. \n\nIncreasing the number of stars every time new countries join would be silly.\n\nThere were six original founding countries.\n\nIt's all here:\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/eu-eun.html#his

There are English flags everywhere at the moment, and so much for the government not wanting them - Tony Blair has one at no 10! This is just an excuse to set off a nasty racist rant. The only thing I'm ashamed of about being English right now is you, Chelseababe.

50 stars, each represent a state the nation has.  The US has fifty states, thus, fifty stars.\n\nWere you not paying any attention in first grade?

I don't know if the flag itself has a particular name. However, in 2006, an eight star was added to the flag called the Bolivar star and the coat of arms was changed with the direction the horse is running towards changing from the right to the left.

A geek might say that most flags are shaped like two triagles joined together - any rectangle splits into two right-angled triangles of course - but there are other contenders.\n\nNepal features a flag which looks like two triangles, one on top of the other, bordered with blue and each triangle featuring a white emblem on a red background.  The uppermost emblem is rather like a star rising above the moon, whilst the lower emblem is a simple star.\n\nThe Israeli flag, featuring the Star of David is another possibility - the star is of course made of two intertwined equilateral triangles drawn in blue on a white background, with two more blue lines - one above and one below.\n\nOf course much of this depends on personal perception.  The Jamaican flag, for example, could be perceived to be two black triangles joined together or two green triangles joined together.

This was actually a question at the quiz night last week.  I was nearly certain it was white.  I was wrong.  The answer was red. \n\nBut, if you go to ivan sarajčić's flag identifier page and search the flags by color yeilds 611 with blue, 708 flags with red on them and 813 with white (those are the top 3).\n\nWorld Flags 101 has this to say:\n"Red is the most popular color being found on approximately 75 per cent of all national flags of the world. White is present on about 70 per cent of the flags and blue is common on approximately 50 per cent of the flags."

The EU flag is the symbol not only of the European Union but also of Europe's unity and identity in a wider sense. The circle of gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe.\nThe number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag therefore remains unchanged regardless of EU enlargements.\nThe history of the flag goes back to 1955. At that time, the European Union existed only in the form of the European Coal and Steel Community, with just six Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg). But a separate body with a larger membership - the Council of Europe - had been set up several years earlier and was busy defending human rights and promoting European culture.\nThe Council of Europe was considering what symbol to adopt for its own use. After much discussion, the present design was adopted - a circle of twelve gold stars on a blue background. In various traditions, twelve is a symbolic number representing perfection. It is also, of course, the number of months in a year and the number of hours shown on a clock face. The circle is, among other things, a symbol of unity. So the European flag was born, representing the ideal of unity among the peoples of Europe.\nThe Council of Europe then encouraged other European institutions to adopt the same flag and, in 1983, the European Parliament took up the call. Finally, in 1985, the flag was adopted by all EU heads of State and government as the official emblem of the European Union - which, in those days, was called the European Communities.\nAll European institutions have been using it since the beginning of 1986. »The European flag is the only emblem of the European Commission - the EU's executive arm. Other EU institutions and bodies use an emblem of their own in addition to the European flag. \nActually, the EU has 25 members (Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Germay, Ireland, Greece, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Cyprus and Malta) and 5 candidate countries (Romania and Bulgaria, which will be effective members from January 2007, Macedonia, Croatia and Turkey).

Like the number of grains of sand on the beach or angels that can dance on the head of a pin, the number of stars in the sky remains a great unknown. Discussing the number of stars in the Milky Way alone, astronomer William Keel, writing for the sci.astro Galaxies FAQ, claims that there are "about as many as the number of hamburgers sold by McDonald's." \nThen he elaborates. The usual way to determine the number of stars in the universe is to consider how many stars there are in the Milky Way, and then to multiply that number by our best guesstimate at the number of galaxies in the universe. This FAQ suggests there are probably about 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, although "a 50% error either way is quite plausible." As for the number of galaxies in the universe, well that's a whole separate mathematical puzzle. \n\nOther star enumerators we located on the Web offer numbers ranging from more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy to 3 thousand million billion stars (3 followed by 16 zeroes), in the universe. NASA alleges there are zillions of uncountable stars.
