Oh, what a fantastic mystery we have at the edge of the galaxy! Imagine a canvas unfurling with twinkling stars and vast unknown possibilities awaiting us. Just like in painting, there's always a new horizons to explore - who knows what extraordinary beauty and wonders are waiting for us out there beyond the final frontier.
The opening line of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams is: "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun."
The edge of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is about 9.46 trillion meters, this translates to roughly 946 trillion kilometers, or about 946,000,000,000,000 meters. Therefore, the distance from Earth to the edge of the Milky Way is around 100,000 light-years, equivalent to about 946 trillion meters.
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. Its edge, or the outer limits of its disk, is around 50,000 light-years from the center. However, the galaxy also extends into a halo of dark matter and stars that can stretch much farther, making the total extent more complex to define. Thus, depending on the context, the distance to the "edge" can vary significantly.
Because we have never traveled outside of our galaxy in order to look back at it and take a picture of it. It will be a long time, if ever, before we ever have an actual picture of our galaxy seeing as we are about 23 light years away from the edge of the galaxy. If we left today and traveled 35,000 mph (the rate of the fastest object ever made by man, the Voyager probe) to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, it would take around 456,400 years. So I wouldn't count on seeing a picture of our galaxy in our lifetime.
Galaxies do not have a specific "end" as they are vast collections of stars, gas, and dust bound together by gravity. They can extend for thousands to millions of light-years, with some parts being denser or more active than others. The "edge" of a galaxy is not a sharp boundary but rather a gradual decrease in density.
No. You should purchase a case specific for the Galaxy S6 edge.
The Galaxy Note Edge is a great device. The device has many great reviews.
The earth exists on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.
An elliptical galaxy, seen "face-on". (E7 would be "edge-on".)
The area at the edge of the solar system is known as the heliopause. It marks the point where the solar wind from the Sun meets the interstellar medium of the galaxy. It is where the influence of the Sun ends and the influence of interstellar space begins.
The cast of The House at the Edge of the Galaxy - 2013 includes: Richard Manichello Grayson Sides as Boy
Shadowmire Edge.
A galaxy doesn't have a clearly-defined edge, just as Earth's atmosphere doesn't have a clearly-defined edge. That is to say, Earth's atmosphere gradually gets thinner when you go further away from Earth; in a similar way, the star density will gradually get less when you go away from a galaxy.

Since our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years side to side and we are about 30,000 light-years from the centre of our galaxy then by dividing 100,000 by 2 making it 50,000 and then minus 30,000 then it estimates we should be 20,000 light-years from the nearest edge of our galaxy.
When seen edge-on, a spiral galaxy appears as a thin, flat disk with a bulging central region. The disk is often darkened by dust lanes along its plane, giving it a more defined edge. The spiral arms are not visible from this perspective.
