That's the first time I've witnessed this behavior in the wild.

I think the author meant "galactocele".First of all, "galactical".
I do love that the word galaxy is related to lactation, and the Milky Way is named so because Hera squeezed her titty milk across the sky.I think the author meant "galactocele".
I always wondered what was at the centre of a cluster of galaxies, now I know it's a milky tit cyst.
- Galactocele
A galactocele is a cystic tumor containing milk or a milky substance that is usually located in the mammary glands. It is caused by a protein plug that blocks off the outlet. Once lactation has ended the cyst should resolve on its own without intervention. A galactocele does not cause infection as the milk within is sterile and has no outlet for which to become contaminated. Attempts to drain the cyst are unsuccessful because the protein plug remains intact and milk production continues. Galactocele may be associated with oral contraceptive use.
Wait. Is this true?I do love that the word galaxy is related to lactation, and the Milky Way is named so because Hera squeezed her titty milk across the sky.
IIRC.Wait. Is this true?
I was delighted to find that this is indeed the origin of the word, this will be added to the huge store of utterly useless information in my brain, which is so full that it prevents me from learning important life lessons, or remembering someone's name 30 seconds after we have been introduced.I do love that the word galaxy is related to lactation, and the Milky Way is named so because Hera squeezed her titty milk across the sky.

Happens to me as well. I very much suspect that it's because I wasn’t really paying attention thirty seconds ago when they were introduced.or remembering someone's name 30 seconds after we have been introduced.
