The Mysteries of the Milky Way
Our Milky Way, a barred spiral galaxy, spans some 100,000 light-years across and contains over 200 billion stars! Within its vast arms, nebulae and star clusters tell the stories of stellar birth and death.
Home to our solar system, the Milky Way gracefully arcs across our night skies, visible in wide swaths from rural areas. Discover our journey through this cosmic tapestry!
