READING
Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
The Milky Way is a large collection of stars, planets, and gas that can be seen in the night sky as a bright band
stretching across the sky. Our Sun and its planets, including Earth, are part of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky
Way is vast, with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. That means it would take 100,000 years to travel from one
side of the galaxy to the other at the speed of light! Scientists believe there are billions of stars in the Milky Way,
many of which have planets. Some of these planets might be able to support life, but we haven't found any yet. The
Milky Way is also home to lots of gas and dust that can form new stars.
Despite our extensive knowledge of the Milky Way, there is still much we don't know. For example, scientists are
still trying to understand how the galaxy formed and how it has evolved over time. They are also working to map
out the distribution of dark matter within the galaxy and identify potential habitable planets around other stars.
