Main article: Galactic quadrant A diagram of the Sun's location in the Milky Way, the angles represent longitudes in the galactic coordinate system In 1845, Lord Rosse constructed a new telescope and was able to distinguish between elliptical and spiral-shaped nebulae. He also managed to make out individual point sources in some of these nebulae, lending credence to Kant's earlier conjecture.

After much struggle between his divorce and small capital, he was nonetheless determined to drive a successful candy-making business. He started making small but popular butter-cream candies in his very own kitchen.

Much of the mass of the Milky Way seems to be dark matter, an unknown and invisible form of matter that interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter. A dark matter halo is conjectured to spread out relatively uniformly to a distance beyond one hundred kiloparsecs (kpc) from the Galactic Center. Mathematical models of the Milky Way suggest that the mass of dark matter is 1–1.5 ×10 12 M ☉. [134] [135] [136] 2013 and 2014 studies indicate a range in mass, as large as 4.5 ×10 12 M ☉ [137] and as small as 8 ×10 11 M ☉. [138] By comparison, the total mass of all the stars in the Milky Way is estimated to be between 4.6 ×10 10 M ☉ [139] and 6.43 ×10 10 M ☉. [134] The ESA spacecraft Gaia provides distance estimates by determining the parallax of a billion stars and is mapping the Milky Way with four planned releases of maps in 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2024. [91] [92]This is the diameter measured using the D 25 standard. It has been recently suggested that there is a presence of disk stars beyond this diameter, although it is not clear how much of this influences the surface brightness profile. [11] Globular clusters are among the oldest objects in the Milky Way, which thus set a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way. The ages of individual stars in the Milky Way can be estimated by measuring the abundance of long-lived radioactive elements such as thorium-232 and uranium-238, then comparing the results to estimates of their original abundance, a technique called nucleocosmochronology. These yield values of about 12.5 ± 3 billion years for CS 31082-001 [253] and 13.8 ± 4 billion years for BD +17° 3248.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey of the northern sky shows a huge and diffuse structure (spread out across an area around 5,000times the size of a full moon) within the Milky Way that does not seem to fit within current models. The collection of stars rises close to perpendicular to the plane of the spiral arms of the Milky Way. The proposed likely interpretation is that a dwarf galaxy is merging with the Milky Way. This galaxy is tentatively named the Virgo Stellar Stream and is found in the direction of Virgo about 30,000 light-years (9kpc) away. [229] Gaseous halo [ edit ]
