The Milky Way [c] is the galaxy that includes the Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
The Dark Horse Nebula or Great Dark Horse (sometimes called the Prancing Horse) is a large dark nebula that, from Earth's perspective, obscures part of the upper central bulge of the Milky Way. The Dark Horse lies in the equatorial constellation Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer), near its borders with the more famous constellations Scorpius and ...
Contains the Milky Way, and is the first galaxy filament to be discovered. (The first LQG was found earlier in 1982.) A new report in 2014 confirms the Milky Way as a member of the Laniakea Supercluster. CfA2 Great Wall (1989) 750,000,000: Also known as the Coma Wall. Saraswati Supercluster: 652,000,000 [22]
The winning entries were beamed as a message to extraterrestrials, "into the Milky Way from the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico". [10] This follows the example set in 1974, when the first serious effort at communication to alien civilizations, the Arecibo message , was broadcast from Arecibo.

[ 1 ] There are 61 small galaxies confirmed to be within 420 kiloparsecs (1.4 million light-years ) of the Milky Way, [ 2 ] but not all of them are necessarily in orbit, and some ...
The reduced instances of GRBs through the equator are due to the Zone of Avoidance of the Milky Way plane. Bottom: The specific GRBs in group 4 of the sample lying at 1.6 < z < 2.1. The clustering at the upper-left quarter region is the suspected Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. Images credit: I. Horváth, Z. Bagoly, J. Hakkila and L. V ...
