Object Of The Week: Milky Way At Its Brilliant Best This week—and for the next two weeks—is the best time of year to see the Milky Way from the northern hemisphere. You need clear skies, ofThe northern hemisphere sees the Milky Way begin to rise from the south during the spring. Therefore, all of the US national parks begin to see the galactic core rise a few hours before sunrise, from as early as mid-March. Much of the Milky Way is the most visible during the summer months, when its center is clearly visible as soon as the sun sets.
The largest and most massive star clusters are the globular clusters, so called because of their roughly spherical appearance. The Galaxy contains more than 150 globular clusters (the exact number is uncertain because of obscuration by dust in the Milky Way band, which probably prevents some globular clusters from being seen).
