We know that the Earth is not at the center of the Milky Way because we see it over THERE, but not over HERE.

Go to a remote area far away from any artificial lights. Lay down in your sleeping bag and count the stars. You'll see the Milky Way on one side of the Earth, but not anywhere else; therefore, Earth isn't in the middle of it.

The sun (or centre of the solar system)? But that travels round the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The centre of Milky Way? But that travels around the centre of our local cluster. The centre of our local cluster? No, because that travels round ... and so on.
