ASTRONOMY WHAT
IS OUR COSMIC
ADDRESS?
Astronomy what is our cosmic address? Have you ever
wondered how enormous the universe is? Or where do we fit
into it?
Our cosmic address is a way of measuring our place in the
universe. By understanding our cosmic address, we can
better understand our place in the cosmos and the vastness
of space.
We all live on a planet that orbits an average star on the
outskirts of a vast galaxy that contains up to 400 billion
other suns. But what does that have to do with our COSMIC
ADDRESS?
Well, it is a way of putting into perspective just how small
we are in the grand scheme of things.
Let's see what each part of this address means:
You know about this one. It is our planet, which is about
4.5 billion years old.
EARTH
THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The sun is at the center of the solar system, and
everything orbits around it. These include planets,
moons, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.
OORT CLOUD
The Oort Cloud is a vast comet field that surrounds our
solar system. This can be considered to be the source of
long-period comets which are thought to be leftover from
the solar system's formation and are supposed to be
billions of years old.
LOCAL FLUFF
It is a section of space with a slightly higher concentration
of hydrogen gas, which is the most common molecule in the
cosmos.
LOCAL BUBBLE
The local bubble is a relative cavity in the interstellar
medium (ISM), in which the sun and nearby stars travel.
ORION ARM
The Solar System is located in the Orion Arm, a minor spiral
arm of the MILKY WAY GALAXY that is 3,500 light-years
across and about 10,000 light-years long, including Earth.
MILKY WAY GALAXY
The Milky Way Galaxy is a galaxy that contains the sun and
all of the planets surrounding it. Every star we see in the
night sky belongs to our own Milky Way Galaxy.
The Milky Way Galaxy is a galaxy that contains the sun and
all of the planets surrounding it. Every star we see in the
night sky belongs to our own Milky Way Galaxy.
MILKY WAY GALAXY
LOCAL GROUP
The Milky Way is a member of the Local Group, which
includes all of the other galaxies in our universe. We don't
know the exact number of galaxies in this Local Group.
However, it is considered that most members are dwarf
galaxies.
VIRGO SUPERCLUSTER
The Virgo Supercluster is home to approximately 100 tiny
galaxy clusters, including our Local Group.
LANIAKEA SUPERCLUSTER
The Laniakea Supercluster is the galaxy supercluster that
contains the Milky Way and around 100,000 other nearby
galaxies. The observable universe, which is believed to
have two trillion galaxies, is beyond Laniakea.
Mind-blowing, isn't it?
