Explanation:
If you look closely at the center of the above photograph, you will see a
spiral galaxy
behind the field of stars. Named
Dwingeloo
1, this nearby
galaxy was only
discovered recently
(1994) because much of its light was
obscured by
dust, gas and bright stars of our
own
Milky Way galaxy. In
fact, all the individually discernible stars in the above photograph are in
our Galaxy. Dwingeloo 1 turned out to be a large galaxy located only five
times as distant as the closest major galaxy -
M31.
