At the moment, or even in the future - we will never know.
Even if we managed to explore every star and planet in the whole Milky Way, by the time we had finished, more moons would have been created somewhere else.
As we only know of one planet with life on it, the population of the Milky Way is the same as the population on Earth.
Currently around 6.9 billion people.

That really depends on the exact interpretation of the term "discovered". We haven't actually sent probes (manned or unmanned), even to the nearest star - whose distance, about 4 light-years, is a trifle compared to the size of the galaxy (about 100,000 light-years in diameter). We do have a general idea of the shape of the galaxy. Some stars have been classified, but even of those who have been classified, in most cases not much is known about them.

There are 17 satelite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.

The milky way is the name of our galaxy, there are no other galaxies in it.
Astronomers Believe that there are about100 billion habitable Earth-like planets in the Milky Way, 50 sextillion in the universe.
We are in the Milky Way Galaxy at the end of one of the arms.
The Milky Way Galaxy
Earth is in the milky way the milky way is a galaxy, a spiral galaxy i think and its called the milky way because it looks like milk when you see it at night yo other people who will probably answer like a second after me -Alex
The Greek word Galaxy is "milk". The name Milky Way Galaxy is derived from the way intra-galaxy dust and clouds appear as they stream across the night sky.
Considering the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and the amount of "empty" space, the amount of space an emission nebula occupies is so small as to be infinitesimal and impossible to equate to a volume.
In another Galaxy
The Milky Way Galaxy was made by the Big Bang, but it was discovered by a Greek Astronomer called Democritus. It was discovered with the naked eye because they didn't have much technology then.

No. Although the Milky Way is a relatively large galaxy it is nowhere near the largest known. Galaxies dozens of times the size and hundreds of times the mass of the Milky Way have been observed.
The Milky Way galaxy is.... called the Milky Way Galaxy
The Milky Way is a galaxy, is is our galaxy
No. The Milky Way is believed to be a barred spiral galaxy.
