The galaxy where our Earth is found is known as the Milky Way and every other star we see in the Earth’s atmosphere is part of it.

The Milky Way earned its name because from a telescope, this looks like a hazy, glowing, white band of light. The light comes from all the stars and other space debris that are in its path. Scientists believe that this contains 100 to 400 billion stars. And the Earth is just a miniscule piece of this.

The Milky Way looks brightest near the constellation of Sagitarrius, which is believed to be the galaxy’s heart. And in between these constellations and band of stars are dark gaseous mass called the interstellar medium. It is thick and cold and poisonous to man.

Located some 100,000 light years away from the Earth, this documentary is sort of a guided tour of the Milky Way. Watch and discover what is out there through this. The film uses computer graphics to simulate what being in the Milky Way looks like, which is perhaps the closes thing man can get to.
