Weekend Pic.. Milky Way

[BigThicketBoy]

Man if we could turn off all the lights for a night, imagine what it would look like. Beautiful pic

Awesome shot. But can we actually see the cluster that is the milky way, since were inside it? Seems to me that that would be another galaxy. But then again, I don know much about astronomy.

Yes, you can.. In part.. Have you ever seen a picture of a galaxy flat on? A big round swirl.. What your looking at is the swirl. Your not seeing the whole galaxy no, but your seeing into the arm of the swirl.

That is a great picture

I can only imagine the amount of people that have never seen stars like this, or even know they can look like this.
