Milky Way

Physics

See galaxy.

Astronomy

A band of faint light across the sky, visible to the naked eye on a moonless night, consisting of stars and glowing gas in the disk of our own Galaxy. From Cassiopeia to Cygnus the Milky Way varies in width, and between Cygnus and Sagittarius it appears to split into two, separated by the Great Rift. It is faint from Cassiopeia to Canis Major, particularly near Taurus. In the southern hemisphere from Sagittarius to Carina the Milky Way is spectacular. Dark areas stand out in greater contrast in this region, notably the Coalsack nebula in Crux. The galactic centre lies in Sagittarius, where star clouds are particularly bright and dense. The plane of our Galaxy runs along the Milky Way and is inclined at about 63° to the celestial equator, a result of the orientation of the Solar System within the Galaxy.

Space Exploration

A faint band of light crossing the night sky, consisting of stars in the plane of our Galaxy. The name Milky Way is often used for the Galaxy itself. It is a spiral galaxy, 100 000 light years in diameter and 2 000 light years thick, containing at least 100 billion stars. The Sun is in one of its spiral arms, about 25 000 light years from the centre, not far from its central plane.
The densest parts of the Milky Way, towards the Galaxy's centre, lie in the constellation Sagittarius. In places, the Milky Way is interrupted by lanes of dark dust that obscure light from the stars beyond, such as the Coalsack nebula in Crux (the Southern Cross). It is because of these that the Milky Way is irregular in width and appears to be divided into two between Centaurus and Cygnus.
The Milky Way passes through the constellations of Cassiopeia, Perseus, Auriga, Orion, Canis Major, Puppis, Vela, Carina, Crux, Centaurus, Norma, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Scutum, Aquila, and Cygnus.
