Oh, what a perfect question! At the center of our galaxy, there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* surrounded by beautiful stars, planets, and alienated wanderers just startling it in an enchanting dance! The mysterious beauty of our galaxy's center is a reminder that there's always something amazing and extraordinary waiting to be discovered if we keep exploring with an open heart and an open mind.
About 25,000 light-years from the center.
The Sun and the solar system is located somewhere at the end of the Orion arm (local arm) of the Galaxy. The Sun is about 30,000 light years from the center of the Galaxy. The radius of the Galaxy is about 50,000 light years.
correct answer 26,000 A+
Astronomers have detected a quasar in a distant galaxy.
Earth is located in the Milky Way galaxy, specifically in the Orion Arm, which is a minor spiral arm situated between the larger Perseus Arm and the Sagittarius Arm. The solar system, including Earth, is positioned about 26,000 light-years from the galactic center, which is located in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. The Milky Way itself is a barred spiral galaxy, and Earth orbits around the center of the galaxy at a speed of approximately 230 kilometers per second.
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
The Earth is located in a galaxy called the Milky Way. It is about 26,000 light-years from the center.
About 25,000 light-years from the center.
Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.
The Sun and the solar system is located somewhere at the end of the Orion arm (local arm) of the Galaxy. The Sun is about 30,000 light years from the center of the Galaxy. The radius of the Galaxy is about 50,000 light years.
Probably the same as the center of YOUR galaxy.
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
No. Our solar system is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral arms of our galaxy, a LONG way from the center. Considering that the center of the galaxy (of many galaxies, actually) is probably occupied by a supermassive black hole, it's probably safer to be out that far.
The center of a spiral galaxy is which color
I never said we were. We are located about 26,00 light years from the centre of the Milky Way.
correct answer 26,000 A+
The galaxy which we are located in is the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy.
