The Milky Way

I love to read about Milky way, so I think this is an interesting info.

On Clear nights, far from town when there in so moon, a faint, hazy white  band can be seen stretching right acroos the sky. This band is called the Milky way. Through binoculars, it is clear that the milky way consists of countless starts - indeed, it is a vast cluster of over 100 billion stars. The milky way appears to us as a narrow band because we are looking at it edge on. If we could look down on it, we would see that it looks like a giant catherine wheel, with a dense bulge at its centre containing mostly older stars.
