The Milky Way, or simply the Galaxy, is the galaxy in which the Solar System is located. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. It is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.

Its name is a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn translated from the Greek Γαλαξίας (Galaxias), referring to the pale band of light formed by the galactic plane as seen from Earth (see etymology of galaxy). Some sources hold that, strictly speaking, the term Milky Way should refer exclusively to the band of light that the galaxy forms in the night sky, while the galaxy should receive the full name Milky Way Galaxy, or alternatively the Galaxy.^[4][5][6] However, it is unclear how widespread this convention is, and the term Milky Way is routinely used in either context.

Τις νυχτες με καθαρο ουρανο και χωρις φεγγαρι μπορουμε να παρατηρησουμε το δρομο του γαλατος . Οσο πιο ψηλα τοσο πιο καλα ... μια αχνη σαν συννεφο μεσα στον ουρανο γραμμη και γυρω να φεγγοβολουν 1000 αστερια . Αν βρεθειτε σε μερος χωρις τεχνητο φωτισμο καντε το κοπο ..

"Floored by the tripwire. Stripped by the crossfire. Down on my knees. For the first time in years, I believed... And you came and you threw me your hand and we swam to a land where a promise was sacred, preserved. And my lady is whispers. my lady is air. I keep a strand of her hair in a heart on my breast... and I'm safe in our warm cocoon. I know you'll be back soon and that's a promise that's sacred, preserved. colour me rainbows. Colour me vexed. I'm perplexed by that light from your moon. But you said you'd be back soon and that's a promise that's sacred, preserved. "
