In the Milky Way galaxy, our solar system is located about halfway between the center of the galaxy and its outer edge 1. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains hundreds of billions of stars like our sun 1. The galaxy is so large that light at the galaxy’s center takes 25,000 light-years to travel from Earth 1. The Milky Way’s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars 2.
Here is a brief summary of the Milky Way galaxy:
