You are simply seeing the Milky Way - our home galaxy.
"The Milky Way" is the name of our galaxy, but it's also the name of the faint band of light sometimes visible in the night sky.
That band of light is composed of millions of stars too faint to be seen individually without optical aid.
What else can I help you with?
Is time of day important in seeing the constellations?
Yes, time of day is important in seeing constellations. Some constellations are only visible at specific times of the year, while others can be seen at certain times during the night depending on their position in the sky. The best time to view constellations is typically during the late evening or early morning when the sky is darkest.
If a pig looks up at the night sky how many stars does it see and why?
A pig's eyesight is not adapted for seeing the night sky in detail. They have limited color vision and low light sensitivity compared to humans. A pig would likely not be able to see individual stars, but rather just the general brightness of the night sky.
When does the constellation Orion disappear completely from the night sky in the northeast US?
OrionOrion will be visible in the night sky at different times of the year. As the Earth progresses around the Sun, the stars (including those that make up Orion) will be above the horizon at different times of the day. If one cannot see Orion in the night sky, it's because it's above the horizon during the day, not at night. Wait six months and Orion will be visible in the night sky.
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
When was We Are Night Sky created?
We Are Night Sky was created in 2005.
Are we seeing stars in the past when we look up at the night sky?
Yes, when we look up at the night sky and see stars, we are actually seeing them as they were in the past due to the time it takes for their light to reach us.
What human activities affect the looks of the sky?
Ciyt lights illuminate the night sky, making seeing stars diffucult.
What instrument allows us to view things in the night sky?
periscope
What are 3 ways to view the night sky?
binoculars telescope and satelite
Where can you go to view the stars?
When aiming the AK-47 at the night sky. :P

Where is the best place to view meteors in the night sky?
-- Outside -- In a dark place far from city lights -- In a place where the sky is clear -- After midnight
You start the night and you finish the morning. what are you?
You are a "star." Stars are visible in the night sky and typically fade from view as the sun rises, marking the transition from night to morning. They shine brightly during the night and are often associated with the beauty and wonder of the evening sky.
What is the atmosphere we view from earth called?
The atmosphere we view from Earth is called the sky. It is a layer of gases surrounding the planet that scatters sunlight and makes the sky appear blue during the day and black at night.
When you view the stars and planets in the night sky they all appear to move on a great?
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere

Why can't we see billions of galaxies in the night sky when there are not many clouds in the way?
A lot of the time people who live in cities don't realise how many stars there are in the night sky - because the light pollution from cities keeps you from seeing them. Light pollution is the light from human sources - like cities - that stops us from seeing most stars. The glow of city lights extends up into the night sky. If you have never been to an isolated area, like a national park, at night - you should. Look up at the sky on a clear night and you will see millions of stars. We cannot of course see every galaxy that exists in the night sky - that's because what we call "the night sky" is really only a view of a small part of it. It's a bit like looking out the window of a car as you pass by scenery. As the earth moves, we get to see some of the stars - but because it continues to move, we don't see all of them at once. For example, the stars in the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere are quite different to the stars in the Northern Hemisphere - but again, you will only notice this if you are looking at a night sky clear of light pollution. There are, in addition, some galaxies that we can't see without powerful telescopes because they are too far away to be seen with the naked eye - the light from other stars and galaxies blocks them out.
