This makes the Milky Way difficult to see from brightly lit urban or suburban areas, but very prominent when viewed from rural areas when the Moon is below the horizon. [d] Maps of artificial night sky brightness show that more than one-third of Earth's population cannot see the Milky Way from their homes due to light pollution. [70]
The "Teapot" asterism is in Sagittarius. The Milky Way is the "steam" coming from the spout. The galactic center Sagittarius A* is located off the top of the spout. As seen from the northern hemisphere, the constellation's brighter stars form an easily recognizable asterism known as "the Teapot".
Based on a view from Earth, one may look towards major constellations for a rough sense of where the borders of the quadrants are: [5] (Note: by drawing a line through the following, one can also approximate the galactic equator.) For 0°, look towards the Sagittarius constellation. (The galactic center) For 90°, look towards the Cygnus ...

Astronomers have released an image of the Milky Way that maps some of the largest structures in the galaxy, including nebulas and the galactic center.
The location of the Great Attractor was finally determined in 1986: It is situated at a distance of somewhere between 150 and 250 Mly (million light-years) (47–79 Mpc), the larger being the most recent estimate, away from the Milky Way, in the direction of the constellations Triangulum Australe (The Southern Triangle) and Norma (The Carpenter ...
The Great Rift covers one third of the Milky Way, and is flanked by strips of numerous stars, such as the Cygnus Star Cloud. [2] West of the Cepheus Clouds, the Funnel cloud/Le Gentil 3 and the bordering North America Nebula, the Great Rift starts with the Northern Coalsack at the constellation of Cygnus, where it is known as the Cygnus Rift.
