LYRICS:
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
look in the night sky
Too see a part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
Your solar systems
just a tiny part of me
The Milky Way name came
from a Greek goddess named Hera
Who spilled milk across the sky
Greeks believed in that era
When you look at the darkest sky
on a clear summers night
And you see the image
of the Milky way clear in site
Remember you can only see
a small part of me
called the Galactic Core
In my galaxy
Astronomers can’t look at me
from out side the galaxy
Because I’m so massive
and you don’t have the technology
Based on other galaxy’s
we see out side of our own
Is why we conclude that our
galaxy’s spiraled as I’m shown
When you look at a side view
of the mIlky way here
You see me as a flat disk
with a Bulge center I appear
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
look in the night sky
Too see a part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
Your solar systems
just a tiny part of me
I was born about
13.6 Billion years ago
That’s a hypothesis
given from astronomers though
I am 100,000 light years
in diameter
That’s an estimate given by NASA
though they can’t be sure
Your Solar system’s
This tiny dot that you see right here
Astronomers think the Orion Spur’s
where your system appears
Your systems guest to be
25,000 light years
From the galactic center
of the milky way shown here
About 230 million years
is what your system takes
To orbit once around the milky way’s
center’s cool shape
200 to 400 billion stars
live in me
that’s an estimate only
based on our astronomy
Over 100 Billion planets
might exist in me
Maybe some day you can
see them in the galaxy
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
look in the night sky
Too see a part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
Your solar systems
just a tiny part of me
Lets take a look at all the parts
that you think I’m made of
We’ll start by looking down
at the galaxy from above
The Galactic Cores
the rotational center you can’t see
because of interstellar dust
It can not be studied
it’s believed the center
is a super massive black hole
When Astronomers find out more
then I will let you know
You’ll notice a Galactic bar
and also the Long Bar
Then the 3kpc Arms
There is a Near and there’s a Far
Then we have the Sagittarius
and the Norma Arms
Then the Orion Spur
Where your solar system spins on
The Scutum-Centaurus
and Perseus Arm
Are two major spirals
and full of the galaxy’s charm
Finally the Outer Arm
and The New Outer Arm
Are the final Spirals
I will mention in this song
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
look in the night sky
Too see a part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
Your solar systems
just a tiny part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
look in the night sky
Too see a part of me
I am the Milky Way
Galaxy
Your solar systems
just a tiny part of me
