Overview

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains our Solar System. It is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which is itself a component of the Virgo Supercluster. The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies, including the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, and is thought to have collided with several smaller galaxies in the past. The galaxy is home to a wide range of celestial objects, including black holes, neutron stars, and supernovae. The Hubble Space Telescope has played a key role in our understanding of the Milky Way, providing stunning images and valuable data about the galaxy's structure and composition. The Kepler Space Telescope has discovered thousands of exoplanets in the Milky Way.
