Question

Why does the milky way look like a hazy band of stars in the sky?

Answer 1

The Milky Way Galaxy is organized into spiral arms of giant stars that illuminate interstellar gas and dust. The sun is in a finger called the Orion Spur. ... We're in the Milky Way Galaxy, on an outer arm, and what we see in the sky is our view toward the center of the Milky Way

Answer 2

It looks like that because that is basically what it is. But there really big stars. They look hazy because your so far away from the Milky Way. I hope this helped you. Have a great day! :)
