A galaxy is a large collection of matter bound together by gravity. Visibly, a galaxy consists of stars and nebulae, along with dust clouds detectable because they block the light from stars. The stars may nor may not have planets, asteroids, or comets. In addition there are gas clouds which can be found because they alter light that passes through them. The final component is what scientists have named "dark matter", because except for its gravitational influence it can't be detected.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, would appear as a spiral-shaped structure from a distance, with a central bulge surrounded by long arms of stars, gas, and dust radiating outwards. Depending on the observer's perspective, they might see the galaxy edge-on, face-on, or at an angle, which would affect how they perceive the spiral structure. They would also see the light emitted by billions of stars, creating a beautiful and majestic sight in the vastness of space.
