Milky Way galaxy in a nutshell

• Contains billions of stars of which the planet Earth is only one.


• Our galaxy is about 10 billion years old


• It is an "average" galaxy


• It has a spiral structure


• We have a Bulge in our galaxy and at the centre of the bulge is our belly button - a Supermassive dark hole. It is alo our Galactic Center (my hangout)


• Our Sun is 30,000 light-years away from my hangout
