Our solar system stretches for
SOLAR SYSTEM? billions of miles, but it’s just a
YOU’RE SO TINY, tiny part of the Milky Way galaxy.
I BARELY EVEN
NOTICED YOU!

ARE YOU TRYING
TO HURT MY
FEELINGS?

If you counted one star per second,
it would take 6,000 years to count
all of the stars in the Milky Way.

The Milky Way got its
name because, when seen
from Earth, it looks like a
1, 2, 3, 4 . . . milky stripe across the sky.

LET’S GO HOME!
I DON’T WANT TO WAIT
HERE FOR 6,000
YEARS!

So far, scientists have
found more than
3,200 stars outside
our solar system with
planets orbiting them.
