I'm assuming you're referring to the cloudy substance in the sky. The substance you see is a combination of Stars and gas. Scientists refer to this as the "Galactic Plain." As far as what tools they use, they tend to use telescopes, probes, etc. However, you can visibly see the Galactic Plain from Earth on a clear night.
