    The system we live in

    A thin disc of leftover starlight

    Eight planets, more than two hundred moons, a belt of rubble between Mars and Jupiter, ice beyond Neptune. Light needs four hours to reach Neptune and 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach you. The heliopause, where the solar wind gives up, sits near 120 AU. Voyager 1 is already past it.

    Worlds we could try to live on

    None of these is Earth. A few are close in size and sit in the zone where liquid water can exist. Mars is the only one a ship can reach in a human lifetime. The rest are light-years out.

      We sit in a barred spiral 100,000 light-years wide. Two other spirals share the neighbourhood, plus dozens of dwarf galaxies. Discs above: Milky Way from outside, Andromeda (M31), Triangulum (M33).
