{{edit semi-protected|Milky Way|answered=yes}}
Futher to the most recent edit, even more is warranted. Please just remove the sentence "Beyond a radius of roughly 40,000 light years (13 kpc) from the center, the number of stars per cubic parsec drops much faster with radius.[113]" from the Contents section. 1) The source doesn't back this up; it's talking about certain stars and doesn't talk about overall density. 2) It doesn't seem to make a claim like this anyway, and 3) it's just plain nonsensical -- "... the number of stars per cubic parsec drops much faster with radius." drops faster than what?

Dividing "mythology" subsection to a "In culture" section at the end

Currently we have "mythology" inside "Etymology", which makes sense for English, but not overall. I think that it would be better if we add a "In culture" section at the end, as it happens with planets, where mythology could be included. I can proceed with this, but I would like to hear more opinions. Theklan (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the spelling error is in reference 21, not 22. Change "Lausten" into "Laustsen". I could not figure out how to edit my previous request. AstroOgier (talk) 12:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that the bright sky in summer "can obscure" the Milky Way in Scandinavia and Northern Europe is funny. The sky does not become dark at all in the summer months, and Milky Way (like almost all stars in the night sky) is not visible in summer. 88.148.150.166 (talk) 17:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
