Long ago, the Romans named our galaxy "via lactea" which translates to “road of milk.” The Romans named it via lactea precisely because it looks like a milky patch of sky above the Earth at night. Travel with us through our solar system with our planetarium educator as we view the sun, planets, moon, dwarf planets, and more. We'll be using images and videos from NASA and various spacecraft as we learn spectacular facts about our awesome location in the Milky Way.
