"Milky Way", according to mythology and astronomical science

"Milky Way" is the beautiful and poetic name given to the galaxy of our solar system, which appears as a stream of milky light in the night sky.

The origin of the name comes from Greek mythology, where it is said that Hera poured her milk into the sky, and in Norse culture, it is known as the "Way of the Vikings".

But besides what myths and legends offer us, the scientific understanding of the "Milky Way" is essential.

Through the telescope, astronomers discovered that it is a closed spiral galaxy, with our Sun located on one side of it.

The name "Milky Way" is now used not only poetically, but also scientifically to describe the structure and components of this amazing galaxy./ CNA
