Milky Way Galaxy
The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the few galaxies known to humans and is our home. The Milky Way Galaxy is comprised of billions of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. The galaxy is surrounded by a halo of hot gas which extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. The Milky Way Galaxy has many arms and belts such as the Orion Belt and the Kuiper Belt. Matter in the Milky Way is clustered and the different arms and belts show the clusters. The Milky Way Galaxy is nearly as old as the universe itself. This galaxy is the root of our very existence.
