Description
The Milky Way. Abstract illustration of the Milky Way, showing the planets of the solar system over a spiral galaxy. Clockwise from lower right are the Earth, Mars (red), Jupiter, Saturn (with rings), Uranus and Neptune. The Milky Way is a disc-shaped spiral galaxy containing at least 100 billion stars, one of which is our Sun. Seen from Earth it appears as a faint band of star clouds and illuminated gas nebula crossing the night sky. The solar system is located in one of the Milky Way's two spiral arms.
