Welcome to You Ask Andy

Bruce Plenk, Age 14y Of Salt Lake City, Utah, for his question:

Where is the center of our universe?

Our home in the heavens is an island universe of billions of stars. It is shaped somewhat like a pinwheel, and our little solar system is about two thirds of the distance from the center out toward the outer rim. Our island universe is also called the galaxy and the milky way.

We look out across the galaxy when we see the milky way looping over the sky, the center of the big wheel is somewhere behind a cloudy cluster of stars in the constellation Sagittarius the summer constellation which rises after Scorpius., the scorpion.
