Mainly because the distances are so great (the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years wide and a thousand light years thick) but also a segment of the Milky Way is obscured from observation. (Observational shadow).
There are also a lot, over 200 billion stars in our galaxy.
An average A4 page contains about 3,000 characters with spaces. To fill a book with a star per character, you would need about 67 million pages.

What are three sizes for galaxies?
Galaxies can be classified into three main sizes: dwarf galaxies, which are small and contain less than a few billion stars; Milky Way-sized galaxies, which are intermediate in size and contain a few hundred billion stars; and giant galaxies, which are massive and can contain trillions of stars.
How galaxies such as the milky way make up the universe?
The question is essentially nonsense. The universe is the universe. It contains galaxies. There's no underlying "structure" to how the galaxies fit together, so it's more or less meaningless to talk about "how they make up the universe."
Why do the furthest galaxies appear less ordered and less organized than those you see near the milky way?
The further away they are, the further back in time you see them. Such distant galaxies are much younger than ours, which is also evidenced via their chemical evolution.
Is your sun and other stars far away in another galaxy too far to feel a gravitational force between them?
Galaxies do exert significant gravitational attraction on other galaxies. For example, the Greater and the Lesser Magellanic Clouds are galaxies that orbit our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In that sense, the stars in one galaxy do have a gravitational interaction with those in other galaxies. Of course, the more distant galaxies have correspondingly less gravitational interaction with ours.
What kind of galexies are there?
There are generally three types of galaxies: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies like the Milky Way have a disk shape with arms of stars spiraling out from a central core. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipses and contain mostly older stars. Irregular galaxies have a less defined shape and tend to have a mix of young and old stars.
How many dwarfs planets does the comet galaxy have?
It isn't even clear how many dwarf planets our own Solar System has (it may be some tens of them, hundreds, or even thousands) - much less how many there are in the entire Milky Way or in other galaxies.
Where are galaxy mass black holes found in?
There is no such thing as a black hole with the mass of a galaxy. At least, none that we know of, and not if you are thinking of a large galaxy like the Milky Way. The largest known black hole has about 20 billion solar masses - which is still much less than the mass of a typical galaxy. For example, our Milky Way is estimated to have a mass of about 700 billion solar masses. However, such as massive black hole does have a mass comparable to smaller galaxies, i.e., dwarf galaxies. In any case, such huge black holes are found in the center of large galaxies.
What are the different names of galaxies in the universe?
Galaxies in the universe have different names based on their shape and structure. Some common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Each type has its own unique characteristics and features.
What to find in other galaxies?
Probably more or less the same things that you will find in our own galaxy.
What type of galaxy includes little gas and dust and no longer produces stars?
the galaxy that contains no blue stars is I DO NOT KNOW and i would like to know the answer too
Why is spring one of the best seasons to observe distant galaxies?
Spring is a good season for observing distant galaxies because it offers clearer skies with less atmospheric turbulence compared to other seasons. This results in better visibility of faint objects, allowing astronomers to capture more detailed images of distant galaxies. Additionally, spring nights are longer and have darker skies, providing more observing time for studying these celestial objects.
How does it take to orbit the Milky Way?
It takes our Solar System about 240 million years to orbit the Milky Way. Other stars - either closer or farther from the center of the Milky Way - will take less time, or more time.
