BTW, I don't mean to scare you, but I'm not talking about to the moon. I'm talking about OUTER space. I want to do a sight-seeing tour of the Milky Way.

How far is the Milky way? I know Mars is a few yrs right? So we wouldn't be coming back. I need to pack light. Maybe pack a bowl

You are basically in the middle of the Milky Way.

Because we dwell within the Milky Way Galaxy, it is impossible for us to take a picture of its spiral structure from the outside. But we do know that our Milky Way has a spiral nature from observations made from within our Galaxy (though whether or not it is a barred spiral is still being debated). To represent this, the beautiful spiral galaxy Messier 74 was used, as it thought to be a similar galaxy to ours.

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος (galaxías kýklos, "milky circle").[ From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies.

The Solar System (and Earth) is located about 25,000 light-years to the galactic center and 25,000 light-years away from the rim. So basically, if you were to think of the Milky Way as a big record, we would be the spot that's roughly halfway between the center and the edge.

I might be dumb but I’ve always have known that the Milky Way is a galaxy and the solar system we are a part of is located in the Milky Way galaxy.

We are not in the middle of the Milky Way. I’ll go to my grave with this.
