what will you find inside the milkyway?

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.

Take into consideration the billions of stars in this galaxy. Then take into consideration the billions of galaxies in the local cluster. Then take into consideration the billions of clusters in the local supercluster. Then take into consideration the billions of superclusters in the local segment of the wall. Then take into consideration the billions of segments in the Great Wall. Then take into consideration the billions of walls in the Universe. It's even possible there's more than one universe! \n\nWhat do you believe? I think there is life out there. But are they sentient and advanced? Maybe. Maybe not.

I think youd see a new planet ;)

If your question is based on what you can see as well as are actually above us and that you are a young person with pupils that will dilate to ~ 7mm tops AND you are observing from a dark dark site with steady seeing conditions (very little "twinkling" of the observed stars)...I think around 15,000 "bright" (we won't get into "limiting magnitude" as that is a large variable) stars is a safe guess. However, technically due to the fact that the as you look towards the constellation Sagittarius in the summer from the N. hemisphere you are looking towards the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy name). That  splash of "cloud" is the combined light of (as C. Sagan would say) "billions and billions" of stars.\nThat latest estimation of our sister galaxy Andromeda is upwards of 300 billion stars alone (it's number of orbiting stars that are influenced and follow it's spin has just recently been upped quite a bit). The current estimate for the Milky Way is 250 billion...however it has also recently been re-classified as a "barred spiral" and no longer a pinwheel shape like "whirlpool spiral". So...who knows a re-estimation of it's star number content may change.\nIn general most galaxies average out to have between 200 - 300 billion stars.\n\nNow...if we take all the assumptions mentioned above (about your eyes, seeing conditions etc) and we add to the number 15,000 of bright individually distinguishable stars in the Milky Way and the number of stars represented by the glow of the Milky Way and the number of stars in the Andromeda galaxy (which a kids good eyes should be able to see ...no sweat) well then the number you can see goes...WAY UP... Carl Sagans answer is an understatement.

Our “address” is: \n\nThe third planet of the star “Sol”, which is the name of the sun. \n\nSol is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, on the inner rim of the “Orion Arm”. The Milky Way galaxy—our galaxy—has four “spiral arms”. An “arm” of a galaxy is a very huge arc of stars that extend out from the center of the galaxy in a long spiral. \n\nThe "Milky Way" galaxy is in the “Local Group”. Galaxies are clustered into groups of galaxies, with wide areas of semi-nothingness between the groups. We have named the group of which our galaxy is part the “Local Group” for obvious reasons. \n\nThe “Local Group” is part of the “Virgo Supercluster”. A supercluster is a cluster of groups of galaxies. \n\nThe “Virgo Supercluster” is one of many clusters and superclusters in the known universe. There is no “official name” of our universe, since it is the only universe of which we know. It is therefore usually just called “the universe”. \n\nOur address is therefore the third planet of the star Sol, on the inner rim of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Local Group of galaxies, within the Virgo Supercluster, in "the universe". \n\nNow that you know the address, from whom are you expecting mail?

It's the name of the galaxy we are in. :)

Well it is a spiral galaxy, but it is a kind of cool one.  It is a little difficult to tell from inside the disk, but it looks like we live in a barred spiral galaxy.  \n\nNot one with a huge bar, like this one: (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050112.html) \n\nbut kind of a medium bar like this one:\n\n(http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap041216.html).\n\nSeen edge on it looks like this far-far-far infrared picture:\nhttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950908.html\n\nThat is real data taken from earth orbit, so you can see why it is hard for us to see if there is a bar. We surmise the bar from the velocity distributions of gas and stars towards the center.\n\nSo that is what it looks like.  In proportion, star wise, you can imagine the central bulge as the size of a hard boiled hens egg yolk, and the disk about the dimensions of a CD. Yeah, VERY thin. there is no edge, the stars just kind of peter out.  Also, the center is mostly old small reddish stars, and the arms are domininated light wise by young blue short lived stars. There is a thicker disk of fainter red old stars too. \nMost of the gas and dust is in the disk and a ring around the bar.  This is where all the star formation goes on. \n\nI could go on for pages more...but that should be enough to get you to ask more focussed questions.

In brief, the number is astronomical. Powerful telescopes have identified galaxies beyond our own. The number of stars is comparable to asking the number of snowflakes. Our own Milky Way galaxy is thought to contain some 150 billion stars.The Hubble space telescope has identified objects some 13 billion light years away. Astronomers refer to the galaxies closest to our own galaxy as "local" galaxies.

The Milky Way (a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn derived from the Greek Γαλαξίας (Galaxias), sometimes referred to simply as "the Galaxy"), is a barred spiral galaxy of the Local Group. Although the Milky Way is but one of billions of galaxies in the universe, the Galaxy has special significance to humanity as it is the home of the Solar System. Democritus (450 BC–370 BC) was the first known person to claim that the Milky Way consists of distant stars.\n\nThe term "milky" originates from the hazy band of white light appearing across the celestial sphere visible from Earth, which is comprised of stars and other material lying within the galactic plane. The galaxy appears brightest in the direction of Sagittarius, towards the galactic center. 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.The 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 [1]. As a guide to the relative physical scale of the Milky Way, if the galaxy were reduced to 130 km (80 mi) in diameter, the solar system would be a mere 2 mm (0.08 in) in width. The Galactic Halo extends out to 250,000 to 400,000 light years in diameter. As detailed in the Structure section below, new discoveries indicate that the disk extends much farther than previously thought.\n\nThe Milky Way's absolute magnitude, which cannot be measured directly, is assumed by astronomical convention to be −20.5, although other authors give an absolute magnitude of -21.3.\n\n\nThe age of the Galaxy is currently estimated to be about 13.6 billion (109) years, which is nearly as old as the Universe itself.[1]\n\nThis estimate is based upon research performed in 2004 by a team of astronomers: Luca Pasquini, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Sofia Randich, Daniele Galli, and Raffaele G. Gratton. The team used the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the Very Large Telescope to measure, for the first time, the beryllium content of two stars in globular cluster NGC 6397. This allowed them to deduce the elapsed time between the rise of the first generation of stars in the entire Galaxy and the first generation of stars in the cluster, at 200 million to 300 million years. By including the estimated age of the stars in the globular cluster (13.4 ± 0.8 billion years), they estimated the age of the Galaxy at 13.6 ± 0.8 billion years.

Are you including the stars that are being created, as well as those that do not actually exist anymore but have died out/ supernova'd/ etc. that we are just still seeing since the light has to travel so far?  \n\nI would be interested in how you determined this number ^_^

It is all throughout space if it exists.  You can't see it because...well...it is dark ;0)

there are several (you did not provide enough details)...could be a sun, galaxy, nebula, etc.

We can only give a rough guess as to how many galaxies there are, and it's billions at least. All but the closest ones visible as galaxies to the naked eye have names. Our local galaxy is the Milky Way, which you can see in a dark place on a clear night as a streak of stars running across the sky. A cluster is a group of galaxies.\n\nSome galaxies we have discovered with Hubble and other new telescopes seem to crashing into each other, and the Milky Way may be on its way to having a galactic interloper in the far future.

Yes, if by that you mean are all of the stars contained within our galaxy.  No, if by that you mean do all of the constellations lie within the plane of our galaxy that you see in the sky.
