Craig Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-16523528 Astronomers have determined exactly what colour our home galaxy the Milky Way is - and find it is aptly named. They wanted to find out how our galaxy looked from the outside - a difficult task given the Earth is inside it. A comparison of star types in other galaxies gives perhaps an unsurprising result: white. But not just any white: specifically, like spring snow at an hour after sunrise or before sunset. The finding was announced at the 219th American Astronomical Society meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
