It also has enough interstellar gas and dust to equal the mass of another 20 billion stars. The Milky Way is classified as a spiral galaxy because it has a dense central region with several spiral arms coiling around it in the same plane. The diameter of the galaxy is about 10 times greater than its thick- Radiation from the central region has been recorded by use of such special devices as photoelectric cells, infrared filters and radio telescopes.
