Count how many in a certain area and extrapolate it to the general size of the galaxy.

If you think about it, what's the point?

For all anyone knows, all the stars in the sky are just illusions, as every one of them died out already but light has that pesky delay in traveling galaxies so we still see it.

I believe the universe is infinite but I'm just curious how you can take something that has roughly 400+ billion stars and count them and I find it amazing how scientists go about doing this.
