We often think about our planet&rsquo;s 365-day year, or even the hundreds of years it takes for some comets to make their journey around the Sun. But zoom out even further, and you&rsquo;ll find that our Sun, along with all its planets, moons, asteroids, and comets – basically our whole cosmic neighborhood – is actually hurtling through space, making a grand, leisurely circle around the supermassive black hole at the very heart of our Milky Way galaxy.</p>
