Wait.. are you serious?

Guess I should consider myself lucky that I had a physics teacher who taught us about the thing that we stand on and live on, what it is, where it is, what's around and how our solar system works.

Ha, I am really shocked now. Honestly, I can't believe this. I should probably not dare to ask someone on HN if they ever heard about the Milk Way or something.

Or at least don't do it in such a dismissive way.

You think this is equivalent to knowing about the Milky Way? You seem to have put some major significance on something that really has very little baring on our day to day lives. Im sure most countries teach a good deal about the solar system and the planets, It's taught at a very young age in the UK and its refined through the years of school to the point where you should have a good understanding of it all. But we never put any emphasis on this. You know why? Its irrelevant at that level. Unless you are studying for a degree or even higher this won't have any baring on what you are learning.

The Milky Way is a candy bar, everyone knows that!

By your nick, I'm not surprised you know about Milankovitch cycles.
