Okay, I'll try again to answer your question about the number of galaxies. I'll use code to access and process information to provide an estimate.


```PYTHON
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

try:
response = requests.get("https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/how-many-galaxies-are-there.html";)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise HTTPError for bad responses (4xx or 5xx)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
text = soup.get_text()

if "100 billion" in text:
print("The text contains '100 billion'.")
else:
print("The text does not contain '100 billion'.")

if "2 trillion" in text:
print("The text contains '2 trillion'.")
else:
print("The text does not contain '2 trillion'.")


except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Error fetching the webpage: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

```
`Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

Ah, it seems I'm missing the `requests` library. I need to make sure that's available before I can fetch the information from the NASA website. I will try again after installing the `requests` library.

```PYTHON
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

try:
response = requests.get("https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/how-many-galaxies-are-there.html";)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise HTTPError for bad responses (4xx or 5xx)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
text = soup.get_text()

if "100 billion" in text:
print("The text contains '100 billion'.")
else:
print("The text does not contain '100 billion'.")

if "2 trillion" in text:
print("The text contains '2 trillion'.")
else:
print("The text does not contain '2 trillion'.")


except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Error fetching the webpage: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

```

It seems I'm still having trouble with the `requests` library. Even though I should have access to it, the environment might not be set up correctly. I will proceed without using code execution and try to answer based on my existing knowledge.

Based on current estimates, there are likely **hundreds of billions, possibly even trillions, of galaxies** in the observable universe. A common estimate is around **2 trillion galaxies**. This number is based on observations from telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope and other deep-field surveys.

I apologize that I couldn't provide a more precise answer using a code-based lookup, but I hope this information is helpful.
