That is simply called the Milky Way. It is the galaxy in which we live.
Yes it is, as all stars that you can see with the naked eye are in the Milky Way galaxy.
The objects of the milky way are the only objects viewable with the naked eye anywhere in the world.
The Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye, so we can assume that people have been observing it before written history.
Any star bright enough to be seen with the naked eye is in the Milky Way galaxy.
Visually, the Milky Way is the totality of all naked-eye-visible stars in our galaxy, whereas Ursa Major is a tiny few of them.
There isn't much to "discover" - if you look up at night, you can see it with the naked eye.
Yes, the Earth is in the Milky Way. Every star you can see in the sky at night is also in the Milky Way. With the naked eye, you cannot see any stars that are not in the Milky Way. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda and it is just about visible with the naked eye, looking like a hazy dust in the sky, but you would not see any stars in it. It is the furthest thing away that we can see with the naked eye. It is hard to be accurate but it is about 2,500,000 light years away. That is about 14,674,284,000,000,000,000 miles away. To see stars in it, you'd need a very powerful telescope.
All stars visible with the naked eye are in the same Galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Basically, any star that can be seen with the naked eye is in our own galaxy - the Milky Way.
The Milky Way galaxy is the brightest and most visible to to the naked eye Andromeda, which can been seen with the naked eye, and is 2.2 million light years from earth.
Yes. The stars in other galaxies are far too distant to be seen with the naked eye.
Any star that can be seen with the naked eye - and those are usually the ones that have proper names - is in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
