The Milky Way

The galaxy of which the sun and the solar system are a part of and which contains the myriads of the stars that create the light of the milky way. Understanding the structure if the milky way has long been challenging . The solar system sits on the outer edges of one arm in a disk material and no one can see across the dense center to the other side, it is about 100,000 light years across and about 10,000 light-years thick.

Greek Mythology//Magic View
One legend explains how the milky way was created by Heracles, when Zeus  let him drink the breast milk of Hera. Heracles was feeding himself during Hera's slumber, once she awoke to the event that was taking place she immediately push the baby off her breast. Heracles drank the breast milk for him to become immortal and the milky way is nothing but split milk. The belief is the same in Roman mythology and other myths that the milky way is nothing more than breast milk from a Goddess that is how the galaxy got its milk soft appearance.

Science View
described by the ancients as a river, as milk, and as a path among other things the band has been visible in the heavens since the Earth first formed. In reality, the milky way like all galaxies is surrounded by a vast halo of dark matter, which accounts for some 90% of its mass. It was none other than the wonderful Galileo to prove that the galaxy is nothing more than a bunch of stars. Cassiopie A is a famous supernova  remnant the product of a gigantic explosion of a massive star about 550 years ago. Although discovered in radio observation 50 years ago, now we know that its emitted radiation spans from radios through high-energy gamma rays. The precise knowledge of its nature makes Cassiopie A one of the most interesting and investigated objects in the sky and in the particular the study of its connection with the cosmic rays, sub-atomic particles that fill our galaxy with energies higher than anything achievable in labs on Earth.
