The Galactic Outskirts


The Galactic Outskirts

These tutorials cover the Galaxy as a whole, the global properties of our star system. How large is it? What are the main structural elements of the Galaxy? And how does our Galaxy measure up to neighboring galaxies? We will answer these questions in this section as we explore the outer reaches of the Milky Way Atlas.
