In skys where there is little or no light pollution, the cisble arms of our galaxy, the "Milkyway" are very prominent and bright. Ancient mythologies sometimes suggested that this background band of light was the 'milk' from which the gods churned the Earth. Hence our galaxy is known as the Milkyway.
