***About The Milky Way

***: The Milky Way Galaxy, a barred spiral galaxy, is home to our Solar System and billions of other stars and planetary systems. Stretching about 100,000 light-years in diameter, it features a bright galactic center constituted by higher concentrations of stars and stellar remnants. The term "Milky Way" is derived from its appearance as a dim milky glowing band arching across the Earth’s night sky, composed of stars too distant to be distinguished individually by the naked eye. Observing the Milky Way is not only a pursuit for astronomers but also for photographers and stargazers who seek to capture or observe its majestic presence in the night sky.
