In this work certain concepts of the relationship, not very flowing, between the Milky Way and modern science fiction are analyzed. We focus on the scientific goals of Gaia mission: the structure and components of our Galaxy (My Stepmother is an Alien; Starship Troopers; Independence Day; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy); the galaxy stellar component (The Black Hole); exoplanets (Interstellar; Les mondes dAldébaran; Valérian); Andromeda galaxy (Tumannost Andromedy) and others.
