Every star that you see in the sky is part of the same enormous galaxy. Our solar system
resides in a galaxy called the Milky Way, stuffed with between 100 billion and 400 billion
other stars, many of them with planets of their own.
The Milky Way got its name from the way it looks from the ground: like a streak of spilt
milk across the sky. That hazy white band is made up of stars, dust and gas.
The spiral is made up of four huge arms of stars connected by a straight bar at the
galaxy’s centre. The arm that’s home to Earth is a smaller one called the Orion arm, where
our solar system resides about 26,000 light years from galactic centre.
