okay you astro gurus - here's a question or two
If all the stars in the sky that we can see are in the milky way galaxy,
which part of the galaxy are they in? our own spiral arm? or can we see
outside our own spiral arm?
And if I was looking through a large telescope - say a 25" Obsession for
example - would I then be able to see objects (stars, PNs, clusters etc)
that are beyond the milky way galaxy? Or does it take a Hubble to see that
far? Clearly we can see other galaxies but can we ever see inside those
galaxies to the stars and other objects of those galaxies??
Or is it a silly question? Just wondering on this rainy Saturday arvo....
