Where are we in our galaxy?

We are located in the Milky Way galaxy, specifically in a spiral arm called the Orion Arm or Orion Spur. This arm is situated between two larger arms, the Perseus Arm and the Sagittarius Arm. Our solar system is about 27,000 light-years from the galactic center, which is home to a supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A*. The Milky Way itself is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which is within the larger Laniakea Supercluster.
