Milky Way floats above frozen lake, Front Range, Colorado, USA
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. The descriptive milky is derived from the appearance from Earth of the galaxy - a band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100, 000 and 180, 000 light-years (ly). It is estimated to contain 100-400 billion stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Milky Way as it gracefully hovers above a frozen lake in Front Range, Colorado, USA. The Milky Way, our very own galaxy that encompasses our Solar System, is aptly named due to its appearance from Earth - a luminous band of light stretching across the night sky. Composed of countless stars that blend together into an ethereal glow when observed with the naked eye, this celestial wonder unveils itself as a result of our vantage point within its disk-shaped structure. The Milky Way's magnificence knows no bounds; it is estimated to span between 100,000 and 180,000 light-years in diameter and contains an astonishing number of stars ranging from 100 billion to 400 billion. In this image by Danita Delimont from Fine Art Storehouse, we witness nature's harmony at its finest: the serene stillness of the frozen lake perfectly complements the cosmic dance happening above. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring scene, let us be reminded of how small we are in comparison to the vastness and grandeur of our universe. This photograph serves as a gentle reminder that there is so much more beyond what meets our eyes on Earth – an invitation to explore and appreciate the wonders that lie beyond our reach.
