How far to the edge of your Milky Way?

The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. Its edge, or the outer limits of its disk, is around 50,000 light-years from the center. However, the galaxy also extends into a halo of dark matter and stars that can stretch much farther, making the total extent more complex to define. Thus, depending on the context, the distance to the "edge" can vary significantly.
