Description

As no spacecraft can travel beyond our galaxy, we can't take a selfie, but the data from the Gaia mission of the European Space Agency provides us with the best recreation of what our galaxy looks like. The oval bulge shines at the centre, with several spiral arms extending outward from it. The Solar System is located in the Orion arm, about 30,000 light-years from the galactic centre.
