  • deep-space

    informal term for anything far from Earth; not specific to the galaxy boundary, and not used in formal astronomy writing

  • intragalactic

    occurring within a single galaxy, rather than beyond it

文法句型

extragalactic + noun

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun. Cannot be used with comparative forms (*more extragalactic, *most extragalactic) because a thing either is or is not outside the Milky Way; there are no degrees of extragalactic.

常見錯誤

Scientists found an extragalactic planet in our solar system.
Scientists found a new planet in our solar system, but extragalactic planets would exist in other galaxies.
'Extragalactic' means outside the Milky Way, so something in our solar system cannot be extragalactic.
