Description
TheàMilky Way is theàgalaxyàthat includes ouràSolar System, with the name describing the galaxy& x27;s appearance fromàEarth- a hazy band of light seen in theànight skyàformed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by theànaked eye. The termàMilky Wayàis a translation of the Latinàvia lactea, from theàGreekàóñûñúÃâùúÃÅÃâ úÃÂúûÿÃâà& x28;galaktikos kýklos& x29;, meaning & x22;milky circle& x22;. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within.àGalileo Galileiàfirst resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in theàUniverse. Following the 1920àGreat Debateàbetween the astronomersàHarlow ShapleyàandàHeber Curtis,àobservations byàEdwin Hubbleàshowed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies.
