The winter Milky Way is not as bright or noticeable as the view we see in the summer season. This is because during the winter months, Earth's nighttime side faces the outer edge of the galaxy, instead of the galactic nucleus that we see during summer nights. Regardless, it is quite visible in Ninigret Park, home to Frosty Drew.
