From our quiet suburb to the galaxy's downtown: 26,000 light years, toward the star clouds of Sagittarius. The light arriving from there tonight started its journey while humans were painting caves and ice covered half of Europe. The Sun has made the full round trip about the center twenty times in its life; each lap takes 230 million years.
