The Milky Way, the Milky Way or the galactic system [1] (from the Greek galaxias ( ), or kyklos galaktikos = "milk circle") is the mid-sized beam spiral system in which our solar system is located. From Earth we see the Milky Way from the inside as a shining band that spans the sky, provided it is dark enough. Due to light pollution, the Milky Way is difficult or impossible to see in some places.
