What are some of the stars in the milky way galaxy?

Answer 1

When you step out at night into your back yard or a country road, and look up to

gaze at the stars, essentially every individual star you see is in the Milky Way.

If you have good eyes and an exceptionally dark sky, and you know where to look,

you can see one galaxy outside the Milky Way, but you can't see individual stars in it.

Some of the brighter, more familiar stars, whose names are known to many stargazers,

include Sirius, Procyon, Betelgeuse, Aldeberan, Vega, Deneb, Altair, Castor, Pollux,

Rigel, Regulus, and Polaris the 'North Star'. Also, don't forget Sol (the sun).
