The Milky Way is the Galaxy in which we live. It is a spiral shaped
galaxy that contains about 200 billion stars, including our Sun. It is
about 100,000 light-years across and about 10,000 light-years thick. If
you are at a place which has a very dark night sky, you can sometimes
see the Milky Way as a thick band of stars in the sky. We live out in
the suburbs of the Milky Way - not near the center, but not near the
edge either.
