Now, let's get serious. There are no aliens known to exist, just a bunch of anecdotes, and no matter how high you stack anecdotes, they never become evidence. We hope there is other life out there, and we consider it likely. But someone has to be the first form of intelligent life in the universe, and there is no evidence that it isn't us.

The Milky Way is the name of our galaxy, and our galaxy contains billions - perhaps hundreds of billions - of stars. Our Sun is part of the Milky Way, so the eight planets of our solar system are in the Milky Way.

Scientists have also discovered over 300 planets that orbit around other stars in our solar system, and it seems likely that there will be millions or billions of planets yet to be discovered. These "exo-planets" are also part of the Milky Way.

Earth is part of the Milky Way galaxy, so humans do live in the Milky Way. We could not live in any other part of it though.

Nobody. While it would be exciting to discover intelligent aliens in space, we have never found ANY sign of life anywhere other than Earth.

Where is the Milky Way in the solar system?

There are many asteroid formations in the Milky Way. Of those, three orbit our sun, Sol. The first, and most commonly known, asteroid formation in our system is the Asteroid Belt (sometimes called the Main Belt). It is located approximately 3 AU (448,793,612.1 kilometres) from the sun, and is comprised of mostly rocky asteroids in a belt formation. The second is the Kuiper Belt, a belt formation of icy asteroids and dwarf planets. The third is the Oort Cloud, a theorized cloud of asteroids orbiting far beyond the Kuiper Belt.
