Where on earth can you see the Milky Way?

You can see the Milky Way anywhere on earth. The Milky Way intersects the celestial equator in Aquila and is located in the northern hemisphere. The milky way draws a band with different widths on the celestial sphere, which is called the galactic band. Its widest place is 30, and its narrowest place is only 4 ~ 5, with an average of about 20, which is only a part of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way occupies a very important position in China's culture, and has famous China myths and legends. The Milky Way can only be seen on a clear night, which is caused by the light of countless dark stars. The Milky Way is not the Milky Way, but a part of it. The Milky Way contains hundreds of billions of stars, with a total mass of about 600 billion to 3 trillion times that of the sun and a diameter of about 654.38+ million light years.

Extended information The Milky Way is a part of the Milky Way and belongs to the solar system. It is named because the bright band whose main part is projected on the celestial sphere is called the Milky Way in China.

It is the round face full of stars that we see when we look at the Milky Way from the inside. Because the light emitted by the star is far away from us, it is large in quantity and mixed with interstellar dust gas, so it looks like a band of light shrouded in smoke, which is very beautiful. The brightness of each part of a galaxy is different. The direction of Centauri near the silver heart is brighter than other parts.
