B

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -From the Earth, the Milky Way looks like a bright hazy band of light across the sky, mixed in with dark dusty patches. This was called Galaxies Kuklos by the Greeks which means the Milky Circle because they thought it looked like milk spilled across the sky.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are no photos of the entire Milky Way because we’re in it, but by looking toward the center of it we can see the vast star fields and dust clouds there. The solar system of our sun and planets is about 25, 000 light years from the center.
