Exploring the Milky Way

Our Milky Way galaxy is not just a hazy streak of distant stars visible in the night sky on a dark, clear night. Every object we can see with our naked eye in the night sky is part of our home galaxy. During this program, we will explore Jupiter, double stars, clouds of interstellar gas, and star clusters. We will conclude the program by viewing another galaxy that is very similar to our own Milky Way.
