If you were in it, you probably wouldn't see it too well at all.

Think of it like walking in a fog with a flashlight, the first few feet looks clear, even though you are "in" the fog itself. Only once you have looked through a distance of it, does it start to become more opaque.

Now imagine that fog is 1500 light-years across and really thin. Now take away the flashlight.

Get an idea?
