Process of Science: Explain how observations of other galaxies can help us understand our own
What will be an ideal response?
We can see other galaxies from an outside perspective, whereas we are stuck inside the disk of our own galaxy. This helps us understand, for example, spiral density waves, superbubbles, and how our galaxy formed.
