We know that 'Yinghexi ' is a galaxy.

But why is it called the Milky way?

为什么英语称银河系The Milky Way？

The name came from Greek mythology.

名称源于希腊神话。

Heracles, who was the illegitimate son of Zeus, was placed in the chest of the Goddess Hera, Zeus's wife, while she slept so that she could drink her milk and Heracles would become God.

海格力斯，宙斯的私生子，被放到天后赫拉女神的胸口， 乘赫拉睡着时吃她的奶, 喝了她的奶海格力斯就能成为神。

The Goddess woke up and when she saw Heracles stuck to her breast, she separated him violently and the milk that came out of her breast created the galaxy.

赫拉醒来看见海格力斯紧贴她胸口， 她猛地推开他，奶汁喷射出来，便创造了“奶路”--The Milky Way。

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains the Solar System where the planet Earth is located.

行星地球在太阳系，而太阳系属于银河系。

It is said The Milky Way is home to 200 billion stars.
