The Milky Way

by Lewis Carroll
written by Lewis Carroll

The Milky Way – On a moonless night, when the sky is covered with darkness, you can clearly see a shining band that encircles the entire sky and represents a multitude of stars that are difficult to distinguish individually. It’s called the Milky Way. These stars are concentrated in the plane of our galaxy. The line of the Milky Way, which is located in the plane of the celestial equator, is inclined to it at an angle of 620 degrees. The general tendency to increase the concentration of stars towards the center of the Galaxy and the presence of a large number of dark nebulae in the galactic plane contribute to its irregular shape.
The next, broader meaning of the concept of the Milky Way is the proper name of our Galaxy (the Milky Way).
