The Moon and the Milky Way – The balance of things, Everything is not what it seems! The Moon and the Milky way are both in the sky on a clear Texas night. A passing plane overhead. Looking north, but the moon rises in the east 🙂 Things are not always what they seem.
The Milky Way has a diameter of 120,000 light years and is believed to be around 14 billion years old. The Moon, in comparison is a meager 2,159 miles in diameter and about 4.53 billion years old and is just a bit younger than the earth.
