Inquiry Investigation,

This Term our inquiry topic is about Earth and beyond and with that comes black holes, stars , planets and our galaxy. We got into groups with people that want to learn and research about the same things as you do. there is a group that are researching about aliens, space technology, two groups are researching about the Milky way and two groups are researching about black holes. I am researching with my friends about the MIlky way orin other words our galaxy and other things to with it like stars, planets and black holes. There were alot of things that we wanted to know by the end of our investigation like being in the Milky Way affect the Earth ?? And if so how does it affect us ?? , Where did it get its name?? And why do we call it the Milky Way ?. The questions that I want to know the most is why do we call it the Milky Way ? Because there are hundreds of thousands of different names that we could have named it but we choose to call it the Milky Way.

I have learnt a few things about the Milky way this week like our galaxy ( the Milky Way ) is like a spiral and we are smack down in the middle of all the arms that it has. Or that our galaxy is a cannibal it has devoured other smaller galaxies in the past from what I have read in books and websites.
