Best Answer

Our home Galaxy is the Milky way Galaxy.

It is in the form of a disk of stars with a blob of stars in the centre.

Our Solar system is near the junction of blob and disk, and the Southern Hemisphere looks towards the blob, which appears as a great glittering band across the night sky.

Can you see a galaxy with a telscope?

Yes. You need a telescope to see most galaxies. However, aside from parts of our own galaxy, there are at least three others that can be seen with the naked eye. In the northern hemisphere, the Andromeda galaxy, a spiral galaxy like our own "Milky Way" galaxy, is visible with the naked eye at times. In the southern hemisphere, you can see the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two irregular galaxies.

People do talk about them. You probably live in the northern hemisphere, so the Northern Lights are more relevant there. In the southern hemisphere, people would be talking about the Southern Lights, as that is what they might be able to see. Where they are, they would not be talking about the Northern Lights.
