The section of the night sky where you view the milky way galaxy edge on. There are so many stars in this part of the night sky that it look like a path of spilled milk - therefore it is called the milky way., The Milky Way 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.
