Which of the following explanation is CORRECT about this statement?
A. This statement does not make sense, because we cannot see through the band of light we call the Milky Way to external galaxies; the dark fissure is gas and dust blocking our view. B. This statement makes sense, we can see through the band of light we call the Milky Way to external galaxies, as nothing is blocking our view. C.
