Long before maps or apps, people used the Milky Way like a cosmic highway, guiding them across vast deserts, oceans, and open land.
Some Indigenous cultures even called it the "Backbone of the Night"—a celestial roadmap stretching across the sky.
Its glow marked directions.
Its patterns told time.
Its path helped explorers find their way long before compasses existed.
Today, we swipe and tap for directions...
But for thousands of years, all people had to do was look up.
Kinda makes you want to go stargazing, doesn’t it?
