      The milky way is very real, we are part of it! It is the galaxy which contains our solar system in the universe. It consists of planets (like us), stars, comets, space dust and dark matter 🌌 In the middle of the milky way is a thing called a super massive black hole at its galactic center and our solar system orbits around this.
