Milky Way Seen Over The Tea Estate In Ratnapura, Sri Lanka
The Milky Way is being seen over the Tea Estate in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka, on June 17, 2024. The Milky Way is a huge collection of stars, dust, and gas. It is being called a spiral galaxy because if you could view it from the top or bottom, it would look like a spinning pinwheel. The Sun is being located on one of the spiral arms, about 25,000 light-years away from the center of the galaxy. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
