ABSTRACT

We all know about the Earth being a planet in Space. In fact, we know a bit more

about where it is in Space: it is in the Solar System, which in turn is on one of the

outer arms of the swirl of the Milky Way galaxy (the band of light that we can see

across the night sky, if we don’t live in cities, anyway). And the Milky Way is one of

a huge number of galaxies in the Universe.
