Why does our galaxy the milky way look hazy when viewed on a clear dark night?

What you are looking at is just one spiral arm of the galaxy. The stars in it are so distant that they cannot be seen individually. Rather, their light melds together into a seemingly continuous haze.

∙ 11y agoThe Solar System, hence Earth, is in the galaxy'sfringes, and the galaxy is of plano-spiral form, so our view of it is edge-on towards the centre. Therefore we see it as a narrow-looking band of stars, gas and dust. These are so numerous that the effectin depthis of a closely-packed mass.
BTW capital M and N - it's aproper name.
