"galaxy"

In the Milky Way, the closest stars to the Sun are 4.22 light years away

The mass of a star cannot grow indefinitely, it can only reach the "Eddington limit" at most, so beyond this threshold, it will soon "eject" the extra material

An in-depth analysis of the light from these quasars using the Hubble telescope has shown that the Andromeda galaxy's "halo" has two nested gas shells, with the "inner shell" extending outward by about 500,000 light-years and the "outer shell" extending by up to 2 million light-years

The solar system is located in a region with a stellar density of only 72 million parts per million of the highest stellar density region in the Milky Way, which is a remote and inhospitable part of the galaxy.
