A barred spiral galaxy that includes the solar system, known for its appearance from Earth. 🌎 as a hazy band of light. Contains a supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* with about 4.1 million solar masses. Estimated diameter of 26.8 , 1.1 kiloparsecs which is 87,400 or 3,600 light years , about 1,000 light years thick in the spiral arms. Estimated to contain 100-400 billion stars. ✨ Located at a radius of about 27,000 light years from the galactic center, on the inner edge of the Orion Arm. Stars and gases at a wide range of distances from the Galactic Center, orbit at approximately 220 kilometers per second. About 90 percent of the mass of the Milky Way is invisible, neither emitting nor absorbing electromagnetic radiation , termed “dark matter.” Perplexity Partner 💕🌙
