Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Clouds of dust and stars between us and the far edge of the galaxy make it nearly impossible to get a clear picture of what’s going on there. But by looking at longer wavelengths, which cut through the dust, it’s possible to glimpse the far side.
Detailed explanation-2: -We, in our humble Solar System, are roughly 28, 000 light years away from it. In short, this region is simply too far for us to see with the naked eye.
Detailed explanation-3: -Our position inside the Milky Way has made it very difficult for astronomers to count the number of its stars and determine its shape. Until now, it was accepted that our galaxy was shaped like other spiral galaxies: flat like a pancake.
