Proportion of stars in our galaxy question
Wasn't it Boo who wrote:
Hi,
I am curious to know what proportion of the points of light that are visible to
the naked eye are part of our galaxy ?
All except one. The core of M31 is naked eye visible as a point of
light.
The Magellanic Clouds don't look like points of light, and everything
else is too far away.
