A milky white bright band across the starry sky is the projection of the main body of the Milky Way on the celestial sphere, called the Milky Way, also known as Yinhan and Tianhe in ancient times, and Europeans called it "Cream Road". The beauty of the Milky Way is fascinating and inspires many beautiful reverie.
The mythical story of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Magpie Bridge that has been circulated since ancient times is due to the Cowherd Star and the Vega Star across the river on both sides of the Milky Way, and the constellation Cygnus is like a magpie bridge that boasts the Milky Way.
In the northern half of the day, the Milky Way glows faintly across the night sky, hanging high in the sky. The Milky Way first goes northwest from the constellation Aquila, passes through the constellations Sagittarius, Fox, Cygnus, Cassiopeia, and then turns southeast, through Perseus, Auriga, Taurus, Gemini, Orion, and the constellation Monolithos on the celestial equator, and enters the constellation Canis Major, Stern, and Sail in the southern half of the sky, and then turns northwest, across the base of the ship, the southern cross, the centauri, the compass, the rectangle, the Scorpio, the Sagittarius, and the shield.
The Milky Way passes through 23 constellations and returns to Aquila after one lap on Sunday. Looking through a telescope, you can see that the Milky Way is made up of a large number of stars and nebulae.

The main constellations through which the Milky Way passes are: Cygnus, Aquila, Fox, Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, Shield, Sagittarius, Scorpio.
Temple of Heaven, Ruler, Jackal, South Triangle, Compass, Fly, Southern Cross, Sail, Stern, Monoli, Orion, Taurus.
Gemini, Auriga, Perseus, Cassiopeia and Scorpio.
The Milky Way varies in light and dark, wide and narrow in the sky. The narrowest is only 4° 5°, and the widest is about 30°. In the Northern Hemisphere, as an important symbol of the summer starry sky, there is the Milky Way, a band of light extending from the north-east horizon to the southern horizon, and the three bright stars, namely Vega and Cowherd on both sides of the Milky Way.
and the "Summer Triangle" formed by the Tianjin Four in the Milky Way.
In summer, the Milky Way stretches north from the east side of the constellation Scorpio, across the sky, and is extremely magnificent, but it can only be found in the wild without light interference (Extreme Visible Magnitude 5. 5 or more) to be able to appreciate it. The Milky Way is bleak over there in winter (in Orion and Canis Major).
in the Milky Way. , there is a constellation called Cygnus, which is like a swan flying. The constellation Cygnus and the constellations Aquila and Jean Ray on either side of the Milky Way are among the most striking constellations in the summer night sky.
The famous "summer triangle" is a large triangle made up of three of the three main stars (one star) in these three constellations.

The Big Dipper is the tail of the constellation Ursa Major, and you can imagine how big the constellation is.

The Sagittarius constellation is the central direction of the Milky Way. From summer to autumn, Sagittarius appears in the southern sky at low and mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. From Scorpio to the east, in the Milky Way south of Aquila and west of Capricorn, you can see Sagittarius.
The Silver Heart is in the direction of Sagittarius, so this part of the Milky Way is the widest and brightest. Although Sagittarius does not have a first-magnitude star, there are 2 second-magnitude stars and 8 third-magnitude stars, and the distribution range is relatively concentrated, coupled with the contrast of the Milky Way, which makes the entire constellation shine.
Extended Information: Since constellations are regardless of distance. So the 88 constellations are not in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is the galaxy to which the Earth and the Sun belong.
Because of the bright band projected on the celestial sphere by its main part, it is called the Milky Way by our country. Even our solar system is more than 100 astronomical units. Not to mention such a large celestial body as the Milky Way, and what we see in winter is the Perseus Arm, because the Milky Way is far beyond our imagination, and now astronomers have established a model of the Milky Way on the two large spiral arms on both sides of the Orion Arm.
Summer is seen and the sky has summer in the background, most of them are on the same Orion arm as our sun, all of them belong to the stars of the Milky Way, are surrounded by sparse stars, and human beings have established through constellations. Up and down the solar system, left and right, it's hard for us to determine how many things we're doing. The vast majority of these stars are visible to the naked eye.
Constellations refer to a group of stars in the sky projected on the celestial sphere at similar positions, which do not belong to the Milky Way, so there are several galaxies in the Milky Way that are misstated, and the International Astronomical Union accurately divides the whole day into 88 constellations. >>>More
Give so many points, I'll also join in the fun. The landlord's question is of little practical significance, referring to the upstairs Du Kang and nostalgia. Bigger than China is the world, bigger than the world is the Earth-Moon system, larger than the Earth-Moon System is the Solar System, larger than the Solar System is the Milky Way, larger than the Milky Way is the total galaxy, and there is no definition of a universe larger than the total galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way. The Milky Way is thought to resemble the Andromeda Galaxy in appearance, and together they dominate the local group of galaxies. The light that pervades the Andromeda Galaxy is the result of hundreds of billions of stellar members. >>>More
The total mass of the Milky Way is about 100 billion solar masses, and if the average mass of stars is similar to that of the Sun, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way. In fact, the number of dwarf stars with masses smaller than the Sun in the Milky Way far exceeds those with masses greater than the Sun, so the total number of stars in the Milky Way is estimated to be about 1500-200 billion. >>>More
The Milky Way is the galaxy in which the solar system is located, including 1,000 to 400 billion stars and a large number of star clusters, nebulae, and various types of interstellar gas and interstellar dust. It has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and a thickness of about 12,000 light-years at the center, and the total mass of visible matter is about 140 billion times the mass of the Sun. In the past, the Milky Way was thought to be a spiral galaxy like the Andromeda Galaxy, but the latest research suggests that the Milky Way should be a barred spiral galaxy. >>>More
