A standard Go board is 19x19. This means there are 19 lines by 19 lines, forming a total of 361 intersections (possible places to place your stones)! You can place your stone on any intersection, including the outer edge lines.

There are 9 "dots" as you can see on a go board. Each of these "dots" is called a star point. These points can help guide players to orient themselves accordingly, and mark the positions for where handicap stones would go. The center star point is called tengen (tianyuan in Chinese, chunweon in Korean).
