Our star, the Sun, is just one of hundreds of billions of stars swirling within the enormous cosmic collection of gas, dust, and stars known as the Milky Way Galaxy. It’s called a spiral galaxy because if you could view it from the top or bottom, it would look like a spinning pinwheel. The Sun is located on one of the spiral arms, about 25,000 light-years away from the center of the galaxy. Even if you could travel at the speed of light—186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second—it would take you about 25,000 years to reach the middle of the Milky Way.

Gift of Earth: Story of the Day

Thank you, Earth, for everything you have given us. Thank you for your soaring mountains and deep blue oceans, your woods, and prairies, and boundless open sky. But, most of all, thank you for your amazing heart, that loves and loves and loves, even though we are still learning how to love you back.
