what scientist think the milkyway haves?

Us.  The Milky Way is the name of the galaxy in which we currently reside.  Aside from us, there are a lot of stars and planets and such.  There is a widespread belief that the center of the galaxy contains a black hole.

I've been studying these issues alot more in the past year or two, and I find them incredibly compelling. \n\nWhen you look at the massive size of the universe, to assume that we are alone is, if only mathematically, ignorant to some degree. \n\nThe more I study history and astronomy, the more I think these two topics are combined. \n\nI may sound like some wackjob, but, I think that there is life elsewhere, that they have traveled here, and perhaps have had a hand in certain events in history. \n\nI don't believe in coincidences, and there are entirely too many questions in our past without answers that can be provided which point towards humans. \n\nWho knows - maybe I am a wackjob, but in the big picture, you can never question everything enough. \n\nIts a big, big universe. We all get wrapped up in our tiny lives, in our tiny houses, in our tiny countries, and forget about the stars, the galaxies that are out there. \n\nSome day I believe we'll find the truth, unfortunately I believe that this 'someday' will be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years in the future.

i believe they exist, only because I believe that the universe doesn't end meaning that mathematically on some other planet, it maybe one out of the speed of light, but it is possible beacuse theere are millions apon billions of other galaxcies all with many other planets and chances of producing life\n\nhowever with that being said the closest galaxies have aready been examined and concluded impossible to produce life as the planets of the other systems are way too harsh to support life, let alone intellegent life, not too mention those galaxies are light years away, so any one who beleives in alein encounters are bogies.

Stephen Hawking may have the credentials but he has not the votes. There are too many want-ta-bees out there and they will all be voting for themselves. Does the Sky fall? No\nIf you look at Mars. Mars had a moon which enabled it to have an atmosphere. Mars lost it's moon and lost its atmosphere. Did it fall or just go away? It went away, loss of moon, loss of gravity. Simple logic.

I know several people who are scientists and believe in God.  Many of them see that there is more to the universe than can be explained by science.

many astronauts have reported seeing UFO's.  The Edge of Reality by J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, (Regenery: Chicago, 1975)  might be a worthwhile place to begin a search on the details.

Yeah I think you babble...\n\nThere is no proof that we have been visited, but there are people like Eric Von Daniken who offer proof.\n\nThe most compelling theory is Drake's equation, which shows that given the number of star systems, it is almost beyond comprehension that there isn't intelligent life out there.

I'm only familiar with The Church - they had a very cool hit back in the '80s called "Under the Milky Way Tonight."\n\n\n"and it's something quite peculiar\nsomething shimmering and white\nleads you here despite your destination\nunder the milky way tonight..."\n\n\nSo, thanks, now I'm going to have that earwig stuck in my head all day ;)

Someone just added an extra "e" in it.\n\nOur Solar System is in a Galaxy called the Milky Way. The Milky Way comprises stars and other material lying within a galactic plane. Relative to the celestial equator, the Milky Way passes as far north as the constellation of Cassiopeia and as far south as the constellation of Crux, indicating the high inclination of Earth's equatorial plane and the plane of the ecliptic relative to the galactic plane.\n\nThe fact that the Milky Way divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres indicates that the solar system lies close to the galactic plane.\n\nThe main disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is about 80,000 to 100,000 light years in diameter, about 250-300 thousand light years in circumference, and outside the Galactic core, about 1,000 light years in thickness. It is composed of 200 to 400 billion stars.

It is reputed to have been Lord Kelvin.  The Michelson-Morley experiment (to find the true reference frame of the universe - the failure of which led to Einstein's discovery of special relativity) and the solution to the blackbody radiation equation (which led to the "ultraviolet catastrophe" and Planck's discovery of quantum mechanics) was all that was left, other than extending the constants to additional decimal places.\n\nHowever, Feynman claims this is more myth than fact.

5 dozen Milky Ways a day ought to do it.

The Milky Way appears to be a spiral galaxy, shaped like a disk with a somewhat thickened center and a number of long, trailing spiral arms. It is no doubt about 90,000 light-years in diameter, but .... only perhaps a few hundred light-years in thickness. So .... it might be just a couple of a few hundred light-years to travel across the Milky Way, if we want to be real quick :)

I think they would be one of the guys who discovered comet "Hale-Bopp" several years ago.  That is the one that hit Jupiter back in the 90's.

There are certainly some scientists who believe that, but they are a very small minority. You aren't actually wrong for believing that to be the case, but you should be aware that it is considered unlikely by most scientsists.

Astronomers are always right except some theories. Because they are doing more than research for this every minute. And i believe that they are right about the black holes.\nBut to make sure that thing they need more research on this.

At a guess, I'd say if you were to use yourself as something representing the milkyway, the Earth would be so small it'd be a flamin' miracle if you could see it in even the best electron microscope.\n\nThe Sun is at least 1 million times bigger than Earth, the Milky Way galaxy is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars, many of which are even bigger than the Sun.\n\nJudging by what I can make on the page I made a start on getting this info from (sources, top link) the Milkyway is over 100,000 - 600,000 light years across.\n\n1 Light year = 63,241.077AU (Astronomical Units) or 5865696000000 miles (9460800000000 kilometers). \n\n1AU (Astronomical Unit.... the average distance between the Earth & Sun) = about 150 million kilometres or 93 million miles\n\nThe distance between the Earth & Moon averages about 0.002 - 0.003AU\nThe Earth = about 12,756km in diameter at the equator\nThe Moon = 3476km in Diameter.\nThe crater on the Moon named "Copernicus" is 90km across.

Consider this there are billions upon billions of stars in each galaxy we are just 1 galaxy and there are billions upon billions of galaxy's in the universe. So the question should start with the universe.
