The Milky Way Galaxy
... Since a galaxy is a system of stars, one way is to just count fainter and fainter stars in all directions. Once I reach the most distant stars (which appear as the faintest) at the edge of the system, I find no more fainter stars. By repeating this procedure along all directions, I can get an idea o ...
