Here's why:
* The Milky Way's position: The Milky Way galaxy is a band of stars that stretches across the sky, roughly following the plane of our galaxy. It's most prominent in the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere.
* Pegasus's position: The constellation Pegasus is located in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's positioned above the plane of the Milky Way. This means you'll see Pegasus in the night sky, but it won't appear to be within the band of the Milky Way.
Instead of Pegasus, the Milky Way passes through constellations like Sagittarius, Scorpius, and Cygnus.
