This galaxy was not discovered until about 1890 because it is rather obscured by the foreground dust and stars in our own galaxy, but it is still a spectacular galaxy.

A thick layer of interstellar dust obscures much of the Galaxy from scrutiny by optical telescopes, and astronomers can determine its large - scale structure only with the aid of radio and infrared telescopes, which can detect the forms of radiation that penetrate the obscuring matter.

While optical instruments can detect the dust when it obscures more distant objects or when it is illuminated by very nearby stars, infrared telescopes are able to register the long - wavelength radiation that the cool dust clouds themselves emit.
