When we look up on a clear, moonless night, away from any city lights, we can see thousands of stars glistening above us. But these are only a tiny portion of the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy, our galactic home. Beyond what we can see in the night sky, hundreds of billions of other stars, and beyond the Milky Way, billions of other vast galaxies. That broad smudge of light ahead is our sister galaxy, and dromada, the closest large galaxy to ours, and the most distant thing most of us humans can see with the un-aided eye. From Earth, it is around 2.5 million light-years away, and incredibly vast distance.
