== '''The Milky Way''' == | == '''The Milky Way''' == | ||
By the term "Galaxy" we refer to the one to whom the Earth and our entire Solar System belong, and when we refer to another galaxy, | |||
we write it with a small "c" followed by his name. As space researchers we started off the Earth, we met on the road | |||
our planetary system and the Sun. We penetrated the stars and discovered the secrets of their formation and evolution. | |||
We | We venture a journey even deeper into the Universe, a trip to the past. Answers to questions about its origins, | ||
characteristics and creation began to be given since Galileo turned his telescope toward it. | |||
He thus confirmed the view of the Greek Demokritos (460-37 BC) that the galactic zone, called the Milky Way, consists of many, | |||
too many concentrated stars. Research on the Milky Way continues to this day. | |||
The Galaxy is a huge concentration of stars, gasses, dust and radiation. | |||
The Milky Way disk, which our solar system belongs to, has a diameter of about 120,000 light-years. | |||
The Sun is from the center of about 30,000 rpm. Its thickness is no more than 1,000 rpm. The radio shows have shown that the Milky Way | |||
is a spiral shape and that the Sun is in one of its coils. | |||
The ancient peoples trying to explain the existence of the Milky Way built some myths. The Ancient Greeks their own. | |||
The most typical of them, which somehow justifies its name, is the following: | |||
Amphitryon and his wife, Alkmini, the daughter of the King of Mycenae, were forced to leave their homeland | |||
and seek shelter in Thebes. There Alkminis gave birth to two children. Hercules, son of Zeus, and Iphicles. | |||
Hera enraged Alkmini and hated Hercules very much. But Zeus sent Hermes one day to bring the baby to Olympus and put it | |||
to drink some milk from Hera's chest while she was asleep to become immortal. When Hera woke up, she realized what the baby was | |||
and pushed her away from her chest, abruptly broke her breasts and her milk poured into the Universe. So the Milky Way formed | |||
with its thousands of stars. Pythagoras call it Lactation Road. | |||
We keep this myth as information. We also know how many traditions of different peoples, with great geographical distances between them, | |||
they say that some "gods" made or were the cause of creating the world, our galaxies or our solar system. | |||
We wonder if we should take seriously the modern theory that generally supports that the world is an incredibly huge and vast construction ... | |||
