This is a very big and amazing place.

The galaxy known as the Milky Way is the Milky Way Galaxy. This is a very big and amazing place.

The sun is the closest star to Earth, as well as being one of the reasons humans can live comfortably. But the sun is definitely not the only star in the universe, as we know there are many stars scattered outside our Solar System and all of them are joined in a galaxy.

Let's take a look at the unique facts below!

• The Milky Way from Another Galactic Combination

Another Milky Way fact is that our Milky Way Galaxy did not originally have a beautiful bar spiral shape. It became what it is today because it ate other galaxies and continues to do so to this day.

The Canis Major dwarf galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way and the stars of this galaxy continue to be incorporated into the Milky Way. For a long time, our galaxy has been devouring other galaxies such as the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy.

• Have Halo

Halos or halos exist in the Milky Way Galaxy. In fact, scientists believe that 90 percent of the Milky Way Galaxy is composed of dark matter that causes gravity and cannot be detected.

So, only 10 percent of the luminous matter from the Milky Way galaxy can be seen. Because there's still a lot of other material that can't be seen and still hasn't been detected. All images of the Milky Way Galaxy are fake.

In fact, humans and the advanced technology they have are unable to photograph the Milky Way Galaxy from above, because our own earth is part of the Milky Way and is 26,000 light years from its center.

If likened to, photographing the entire Milky Way Galaxy from above would be like trying to photograph a football stadium from within the stadium itself. So, the pictures or photos of the Milky Way Galaxy that we have seen so far are made by illustrators.

• Has more than 200 billion stars

The largest galaxy called IC 1101 has more than 100 trillion stars and other large galaxies can have a trillion stars. The Milky Way has about 200 to 400 billion stars, but the most that humans can see from a single point on the globe is about 2,500. This number is not constant because the Milky Way Galaxy is constantly losing stars through supernovae and generating new ones all the time.

Those are interesting facts about the Milky Way Galaxy, where our solar system is located.
