Vi bor i en av armene til en stor spiralgalakse som kalles Melkeveien. Solen og planetene rundt den (inkludert Jorden) ligger i denne rolige delen av galaksen, omtrent halvveis ut fra sentrum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Melkeveien har form som en enorm virvel som roterer \u00e9n gang hvert 200. millioner \u00e5r. Den best\u00e5r av minst 100 milliarder stjerner, i tillegg til st\u00f8v og gass. Den er s\u00e5 stor at lyset bruker
Det tar 100 000 \u00e5r \u00e5 krysse fra den ene siden til den andre.<\/p>\n

Det er sv\u00e6rt vanskelig \u00e5 se sentrum av galaksen, fordi gass- og st\u00f8vskyer hindrer utsikten v\u00e5r. Forskere mener at det inneholder et supermassivt svart hull som sluker alt som kommer for n\u00e6r.<\/p>\n

Utenfor hovedspiralen finnes det rundt 200 kuleformede stjernehoper. Hver \u2018kulehop\u2019 er sv\u00e6rt gammel og inneholder opptil en million stjerner. Melkeveien tilh\u00f8rer en gruppe p\u00e5 minst 40 galakser. Den s\u00e5kalte Lokale gruppen best\u00e5r av to store spiralgalakser \u2013 Melkeveien og Andromeda.<\/p>\n

De andre er mye mindre. Blant dem er to galakser som kan ses med det blotte \u00f8ye fra land s\u00f8r for ekvator. Galaksene kalles Magellanske skyene, oppkalt etter den portugisiske oppdagelsesreisende Ferdinand Magellan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
