Our galaxy is a lens shaped barred spiral galaxy about 100,000 light years in diameter. At the core it is about 10,000 light years thick, but out by us it's justs 4000 light years wide (to quote a popular song). The galaxy contains roughly four hundred billion stars, and is a bit smaller than our sister galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy. Our two galaxies along with about twenty smaller galaxies form our local group. We are a bit over two million light years from Andromeda, and our sun is about 30,000 light years from the Milky Way's galactic core. The core of our galaxy contains a massive black hole, perhaps 3 million solar masses. Our galaxy is also about as old as the rest of the universe, some 12 to 13 billion years. The universe itself, in comparison, is 13.7 billion years old.
