an enormous vast of space known as a galaxy. Properly called, "The Milky Way" our unthinkably huge galaxy is also but another "spec" in the giant universe, which boast
millions of galaxy. And it is amazing to ponder how we cannot so much about something so infinitely huge. But it is remindingly human to realize that the
amount we have left to learn is probably as vast as the space itself... It is the technology of the second half of the 20th century that
has brought us telescopes to collect wavelengths other than visible light, detectors to sense the energy collected, and satellites to lift some of these above the Earths obscuring atmosphere. As
a result we now have maps of the Milky Way in every possible band of electromagnetic radiation. No two maps are the same. Each tells us about classes of objects
and phenomena different from the bright stars and ionized gas that illuminate the "spiral arms" which make our Milky Way galaxy distinctable. Equipped with the full
range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, together with telescopes, spectrometers, and both classical and modern physics, the 20th-century astronomer may seem a bit overloaded but the combination also permits asking,
and sometimes answering, an enormous range of questions about masses, ages, brightness, chemical compositions, and the formation and evolution of the Milky Way galaxy and the objects in it.
Adding up all the wavelengths we find that the galaxy emits more than 35 billion times the luminosity of our own Sun. Dwarf galaxies can be as
faint as "only" a million Suns, while some of the bright infrared ones radiate the equivalent of a million Suns or more. Most of our galaxys luminosity comes from the
