There's no place like (our) home (galaxy) 🌌 Astronomers estimate that our universe could hold up to 2 trillion galaxies—but the Milky Way is the only one known, so far, to support life. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years wide, with roughly 200 billion stars packed within its twin spiral arms. Our Sun, and solar system, are about halfway from the Milky Way's center—which is why you can see the galaxy shining in the night sky if you're far from cities and bright lights. This image of the Milky Way was captured at the nationalparkservice's Dinosaur National Monument, located in Colorado and Utah. Image description: A series of low hills are silhouetted along the bottom of the photograph with low clouds made yellow by moonlight directly above them. The sky is covered with stars, with the Milky Way cutting from top to bottom along the right side of the photograph. Credit: NPS/Jacob W. Frank #NASA #Stars #Astrophotography #MilkyWay #WizardOfOz
