The Milky Way galaxy is the name given by the humans on Earth to their home galaxy.
The Super Scouts apparently know specific information regarding the galaxy; an older male Super Scout corrects Marcy by saying that the number of stars is 114 billion, and not the 110 billion she mentions during her presentation (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
Notes
- There is some confusion as to whether or not the Cyrannus galaxy is in fact the same as the Milky Way.
- As of early 2006 CE, the Milky Way galaxy is estimated to contain 200 million stars[1]. This number doubled in size to approximately 400 million in 2010 CE[2], as small stars predominate[3]. Regardless, both numbers presented in the episode are based on dated scientific estimates of the 1980 CE era.
