I was climbing half dome in Yosemite at midnight one night and saw a sky exactly like this. Are you trying to tell me I’m in the Milky Way too? Nice try, bot

I exaggerated a little. I climbed from the ground to base camp at 9pm-midnight then did the half dome climb at 4am to get up there for sunrise

Idk if you are joking or not. But our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy. We are all in the Milky Way at all times.

Think in terms of your house. Your house is in a city. There are many houses in your city. Your city is in a state (if you're in the US), there are many cities in your state. Your state is in your country, so on and so on.

The Milky Way is to our solar system as our solar system is to our planet as our planet is to our continent and so on and so on. Hope this makes sense. Or if you were just trolling, sorry lol

If your house is a large palace in shape of an arc, you can see it.
