Question: I read on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way#Appearance):

What happens and how does the Milky Way look like out of that range?
If it matters, consider also the all-summer light and the dark winter.

Answer: 
On midnight, right around this time of year, the Milky Way will be in the zenith. Here is an XEphem rendering for the north of finland (65th latitude) for yesterday midnight (the brown outline marks the Milky Way):

You can also see this on photographs by finnish photographer [Tommy Eliassen](http://www.tommyeliassen.com/#!/index/15). He has many examples of this on his website. I won't put any in here, because I guess they are copyrighted, and not free to use.

This is an animated 24 hour version of the above sky map, which shows the rotation of the milkyway around the zenith:

Outside of this range you are close to the poles of our planet. The milky way will be low on the horizon and hard to see.
