Our Galaxy: The Milky Way


What is the Milky Way?

The Milky Way is the galaxy in which we live. It is a spiral shaped galaxy that contains about 200 billion stars, including our Sun. It is about 100,000 light-years across and about 10,000 light-years thick. If you are at a place which has a very dark night sky, you can sometimes see the Milky Way as a thick band of stars in the sky. We live near the edge of the Milky Way.

Happy Valentine's Day


See full size image

             Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th every year. It is a day to display affection. People send cards, called valentines, to their friends, family, and loved ones. Verses on valentines often rhyme and express love and affection. Valentines sometimes  contain humorous pictures or puns - but almost all ask: "Be My Valentine."

       Valentine's day is a great day to celebrate. School children decorate their classrooms with bright red paper hearts and exchange gifts, candy, flowers or "valentines".
