Milky Way (astronomy)

The Milky Way above Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park, California. The Milky Way, when observed from Earth's surface, is the hazy band of white light that is seen in the night sky, arching across the entire celestial sphere. It is comprised of stars and other material lying within the galactic plane of our galaxy, The Milky Way Galaxy.
