    Even more, the word “galaxy” is derived from the Greek root meaning “milk”. So every galaxy is milky

      TIL!

      galaxy (n.) late 14c., from French galaxie or directly from Late Latin galaxias “the Milky Way” as a feature in the night sky (in classical Latin via lactea or circulus lacteus), from Greek galaxias (adj.), in galaxias kyklos, literally “milky circle,” from gala (genitive galaktos) “milk” (from PIE root *g(a)lag- “milk”).
