| Stars and star clusters, diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, dust clouds, neutral hydrogen, giant molecular clouds. The galaxy consists of a disk, a halo and a corona. The central, most compact region of the Galaxy is called the nucleus. There is a high concentration of stars in the core: there are thousands of stars in each cubic parsec. If we lived on a planet near a star located near the core of the Galaxy, then dozens of stars would be visible in the sky, comparable in brightness to the Moon. At the center of the Galaxy, a massive black hole is assumed.
