Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
Milky Way is made of small point sources.
Explanation of Solution
Milky Way was once considered to be milky because of the presence of group of stars and appeared as clouds. There were some clouds that contain glowing gases and dust giving the formation of clouds. These clusters gave the Milky Way a mirky or milky appearance. But on looking through the high-power telescopes it was understood that these clouds are extravagant which lie outside our galaxy and hence was then confirmed to be composed of small particles known as nebulas.
