No, "galactic" doesn't "lend" a thing to the idea of the immensity of the universe. It's just a meaningless extra word designed to make the phrase sound grander. It's like saying "the planetary earth." "The whole universe" (or even just "the universe") automatically includes all galaxies and everything else. To call it a "galactic universe" implies that there is some *other* kind of universe, an even bigger one. So it actually *diminishes* what it's trying to convey rather than expanding it. "A buncha galaxies," BTW, is a gross understatement. There's no way to know for sure since we can observe only a portion of them, but some estimate there are over a hundred billion galaxies. And even *that* may be a gross understatement. (Another interesting, if irrelevant, fact: recently a bunch of *tiny* galaxies have been discovered that contain only a few million stars. It's thought that they were once larger and have somehow been compacted.) > http://www.motodom.com/Galaxy.htm I wouldn't use this reference if I were you.
