Made by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and maintained by Bombardier, the system is the world's most heavily traveled airport people mover.
The airport is located 10 miles (16 km; 8.7 nmi) south of the Downtown Atlanta district. It is named after former Atlanta mayors William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson. [4] [5] The airport covers 4,700 acres (1,900 ha) of land and has five parallel runways which are aligned in an east-west direction.

The Milky Way has several smaller galaxies gravitationally bound to it, as part of the Milky Way subgroup, which is part of the local galaxy cluster, the Local Group.. There are 61 small galaxies confirmed to be within 420 kiloparsecs (1.4 million light-years) of the Milky Way, but not all of them are necessarily in orbit, and some may themselves be in orbit of other satellite galaxies.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a D 25 isophotal diameter estimated at 26.8 ± 1.1 kiloparsecs (87,400 ± 3,600 light-years), but only about 1,000 light-years thick at the spiral arms (more at the bulge).
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies each contain a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), these being Sagittarius A* (c. 3.6 × 10 6 M ☉) and an object within the P2 concentration of Andromeda's nucleus (1–2 × 10 8 M ☉).
