The Milky Way is what our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, looks like from Earth. As light pollution from cities increases, places where you can see the Milky Way are becoming increasingly rare.
In East Asia, the Milky Way is called 'Eunha' and serves as the backdrop for the story of Gyeonu (the Cowherd) and Jingnyeo (the Weaver Girl). In the West, it's called the 'Milky Way,' a name derived from Greek mythology, where it's said to have originated from the goddess Hera's milk spilling across the sky.
