Our solar system doesn’t just sit still in space—it’s orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and it takes about 230 million years to complete a single orbit. That’s called a galactic year.
To put it in perspective: dinosaurs roamed the Earth one galactic year ago. Humans? We’ve only existed for about 0.001 galactic years—a cosmic blink.
This humbling scale reminds us how young we really are in the grand scheme of the universe—and how much is still left to explore, understand, and marvel at.
