GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

GALAXIA / GALAXIE = “GALAXY” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about G for Galaxy.

I have made several post about the cosmos and today we have another one, specifically about our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy.

I have taken some photos at Dark Sky Park in northern Michigan of the Milky Way and those photos are among my favorite ever captured.

Here are some interesting facts about our galaxy:
🌌 1. It’s Huge!
• The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years wide and around 1,000 light-years thick in its main disk.
• It may contain 100–400 billion stars!

⸻

🌍 2. Our Solar System is way out in the suburbs
• We’re located in a quiet area called the Orion Arm, about 27,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy.

⸻

🌀 3. It’s a barred spiral galaxy
• The Milky Way has a central bar-shaped core with spiral arms curling out from it—like a giant cosmic pinwheel.

⸻

🕳️ 4. There’s a supermassive black hole at the center
• Named Sagittarius A* (pronounced “A-star”), this black hole is about 4 million times the mass of our Sun.
• It doesn’t suck everything in—it just sits there, warping space and time.

⸻

🌟 5. It’s constantly moving
• Our entire solar system is orbiting the Milky Way’s center at about 514,000 mph (828,000 km/h).
• One full orbit takes about 225–250 million years—called a galactic year.

⸻

🌠 6. It’s full of invisible stuff
• Much of the Milky Way is made of dark matter—an unknown form of matter we can’t see but can detect by its gravity.

⸻

💥 7. It’s going to collide with another galaxy
• In about 4 billion years, the Milky Way will merge with the Andromeda Galaxy to form a new, larger galaxy (often nicknamed “Milkomeda”).

⸻

🔭 8. You can see it with your eyes
• In very dark skies, the Milky Way appears as a milky band of light across the sky. That glow is the combined light of millions of distant stars.

⸻

🧪 9. The name comes from ancient myths
• The term “Milky Way” comes from the Latin “Via Lactea”, which comes from the Greek “Galaxias”—meaning “milky circle.”
• Greek myth said it was Hera’s milk, spilled across the sky!

⸻

🧬 10. We’re not alone in it
• The Milky Way contains billions of planets, and scientists estimate that at least 300 million of them could be in habitable.

What was your favorite galactic fact? Mine was the galactic year fact.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

JULY 13 1787 Congressed passed the Northwest Ordinance which expanded the size of our country (eventually adding Michigan to the US) and played a role in slavery being illegal.
