[edit] Sun

First of all İ cant learn the star cluster contains sun.İ think it isnt difficult to add something here.İ wanna learn where i am. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilke71 (talk • contribs)

Hmm, I'm not sure what you're asking, but if I'm guessing correctly, yes, the Orion Arm is the galactic arm that contains the sun. (unless you've got some way awesome Internet connection, ) Yes, you are in the Orion Arm. McKay 19:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
For example you can determine the cluster which has sun and add an explain that this cluster has sun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilke71 (talk • contribs)
Yeah, still unintelligible. But I think you're referring to Local Fluff which is the star cluster that contains our sun. The Local Fluff is in the orion arm. McKay 23:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for help.Now İ'll be widely comprehensive to explain what i mean.İt is true that we are in Local Fluff and Local Fluff is in Local Bubble.İf here has maken classification of star clusters in Orion arm, it must be possible that to find me at one of these star clusters. İ dont know which star cluster is my home.Here are the star clusters of Orion arm:
  • he originally included all the Messier objects from the main page
There can be another possibility that here isn't the! home star cluster. İf it is true, i wanna learn that here isn't a! possible star cluster which is home.So in this condition we must answer a question:
İs there a star cluster in this classification which is home? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilke71 (talk • contribs)
Ilke, This article mentions "Within the Orion Arm, the solar system and Earth are located close to the inner rim in the Local Bubble," The list of objects you quoted are also in the Orion Arm, but we aren't in any of those messier objects. McKay 21:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for all.İ cant find a friend like you.İ wanna be closer to you and learn what you know about everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilke71 (talk • contribs)
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. McKay 15:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I have a somewhat similar question about the Messier. I understand that there are a number of Messier objects within the Orion arm, and as I understand all/most Messier objects contain many stars and other objects. My question, though, is what is the equivalent term/name for the object that contains the Earth, our Sun and all the other objects of out Solar System? FrunkSpace (talk) 08:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How far to intergalactic space?

How far is our Sun from the edges of the Galaxy? I don't just mean the outermost edge at the rim, I also mean "south" and "north" toward the "flanks" of the galaxy? I'm asking not entirely for information purposes, but just how far one of Star Trek's starships would have to travel directly from Earth to get to the edge of the galaxy (and encounter that mysterious energy barrier that the genre has included as a natural hazard).
