i am the milky way galaxy look in the night sky to see apart of me
i am the milky way galaxy your solar system's just a tiny part of me
the milky way name came from a greek goddest named Hera
who spilled milk across the sky greeks beleived in that era
when you look at the darkest sky on a clear summer night
and you see the image of the milky way clearing sight
remember you can only see a small part of me
called the galactic core
in my galaxy
astronomers can't look at me from outside the galaxy
because i'm so massive and you don't have the technology
based on other galaxy's we see outside of our own
is why we conclude that our galaxy's spiraled as i'm shown
when you look at a side view of the milky way here
you see me as a flat disc with a bulged center i appear
i am the milky way galaxy look in the night sky to see a part of me
i am the milky way galaxy your solar system's just a tiny part of me
i was born about 13.6 billion years ago
that's a hypothesis giving from astronomers though
i am 100,000 light years in diameters
that's an estimate giving by NASA though that they can't be sure
your solar system's this tiny dot that you see right here
astronomers think that Orion spur's where your system appears
your systems guessed to be 25,000 light years from the galactic center of the milky way shown years
230 million years is what what your system takes
to orbit around the milky ways center coolest shade
200 to 400 billion stars live in me that's an estimate only based on our astronomy
over 100 billion planets might exist in me maybe someday you can see them in our galaxy
i am the milky way galaxy look in the night sky to see a part of me
i am the milky way galaxy your solar system's just a tiny part of me
let's take a look at all the parts that you think i'm made of
we'll start by looking down at the galaxy above
the galactic core's the rotational center you can't see
because of the enter stiller dust it cannot be studied
it's believed the center is a supermassive black hole astronomers find out more than i will let you know
you'll notice the galactic bar and also the long bar there's the 3kpc arms there's a near and there is fair
then we have the Sagatarious and then Norma arms
then the Orions spur where your solar system spins on
scutum-centeraurs and perseus arm are two major spiral and elope the galaxy's charm
finally the outer arm and the new outer arm are the final spirals avalanching in this song
i am the milky way galaxy look in the night sky to see a part of me
i am the milky way galaxy your solar systems just a tiny part of me
i am the milky way galaxy look in the night sky to be a part me
i am the milky way galaxy your solar system's just a tiny part of me
