Very little is known about the far side of the Milky Way because of the gas and dust embedded in the plane, especially near the galactic core. Thanks to its infrared instruments, the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman telescope can peer through this veil, seeing whatever's on the other side. Astronomers are planning a systematic survey of the far side of the Milky Way and could discover over 100 billion objects (mostly stars) in only a month.
