Business Process Outsourcing News and Information

Do you ACTUALLY know how many stars are there in the sky? According to a study done by Australian astronomers and scientists, there are approximately 70,000 million million million stars are there up in the sky. The figure, seven (7) followed by   22 zeroes or 70 sextillion, was calculated by team based at the Australian National University five years ago.

What it means, 70 sextillion stars are about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world’s beaches and deserts, says one report from CNN.

Well, on a lighter note, anti outsourcing lobby may use this term on thier behest.  And propogate accordigly in the media. For example: Due to outsourcing America has lost  sextillion jobs, and then there will be shows on TV where analysts will analyze its social, political, psychological, economical and what not effect .

There are some who believe that the actual number of stars in the universe could be many times more than 70 sextillion figure, but remember this number more or less is visible by the modern telescopes.

In France, the 1948 General Conference on Weights and Measures deprecated the 10⁹-system senses of the words billion through sextillion in favor of the 10¹² system and this suggestion became official in 1961 throughout the French-speaking world (septillion and the higher number names were never part of the French language). France had finally² switched back to the original version of the number names she had created. But the influence of the 10⁹ system, primarily from the United States, was so great that by 1974, the Prime Minister of the U.K. announced that the 10⁹ system was to be used for all official communications, effectively completing a transition that had long been taking place among the general speaking population.
