Galaxy Dwingeloo 1 Emerges Credit:
Sometimes, galaxies hide in plain sight. Dwingeloo 1, a large spiral galaxy, was only discovered in 1994 because it was obscured by the dust and stars of our own Milky Way. All the bright, individual stars you see in this image are within our galaxy, foreground objects to the more distant Dwingeloo 1.
