What type of galaxy is your system in?

Answer 1

Our solar system is located inside the Milky Way galaxy about midway between the galaxy's edge and its center.

our solar system is in one of the spiral arms of our galaxy. This is where most healthy young stars are, as opposed to the aging red giants nearer to the dense core of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing is particularly special about our position in space, besides the fact that it is an area of new star formation.

The Answers.com article, quote above, suggests that there should be some distinction between 'the Milky Way,' being the 'milky' band of stars visible in the night sky which is the rest of our galaxy (after all, it is the only galaxy that is visible to us from 'within' it, so it surrounds us) and 'the Milky Way Galaxy,' referring to the group of stars and other objects.

Answer 4

There are no galaxies in our solar system.

Our solar system is the near neighborhood of one star out of

the 200 to 400 billion stars in the one galaxy that we exist in.

Answer 5

It's gone. 4.5 billion years of solar winds has blown it to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. But as a giant recycling depot, none of the "nutrient's" have been lost, they have been used to form new stars, new planets and a host of other material's.

Answer 6

Our solar system is well away from the center of the Milky Way, about 3/4 of the way out one of the spiral arms of our galaxy.

It's probably just as well; scientists have come to believe that many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have supermassive black holes at the galactic center, and the radiation from matter falling into the event horizon would probably be deadly to "life as we know it" anywhere close to the center.

Answer 7

The Milky Way is part of the Local group of galaxies which in turn is part of the Virgo Super Cluster.
