The Origin of the Milky Way, by Tintoretto, c. 1575.
Jupiter accidentally creates the Milky Way when he nurses Hercules at Juno's breast to grant him immortality, and when she awakens, her milk spills, forming the galaxy.

Home hides in a quiet corner of the #MilkyWay, a vast spiral galaxy 100,000 light-years wide with arms like luminous highways. #Earth rests in the #OrionArm, a modest spur between #Sagittarius and #Perseus, marked by the #OrionNebula and the #Pleiades cluster. There, about two-thirds from the galactic center, a yellow star glows鈥攖he #Sun. One among roughly 400 billion #stars, it shelters the only world we know, the fragile speck where every human story unfolds. #Science #Physics #Astrodon #Space

This image shows a labeled illustration of the Milky Way galaxy. At the top, the text says: "If you ever get lost in the Milky Way, this map will guide you back home." The galaxy is drawn as a spiral with its major arms, nebulae, star clusters, and other features marked. Near the bottom, a small yellow dot labeled "Sun" indicates the location of our solar system within the Orion Arm. There is also a small inset diagram in the lower left corner showing another view of the galaxy.
