In principle it is the so-called Milky Way, our own galaxy, but the name extends generically to any of the groups of stars and cosmic matter linked by their gravity as a recognizable set in space. The name is Latin, but is taken from the Greek 947; 945; 955; 945; 958; 953; 945; 962; ( galaxías "milk worthy?") ) , of 947; 945; 955; 945; 954; 964; 959; 962; (galacts "of milk" ), because from our planet is visible in the sky a cluster of stars that looks like a white spot, and according to mythology would be the milk spilled by the bosom of the goddess Hera.
