"map_content": "The Sun has only 22 galactic orbits left.\r\nEarth races around the Sun at ~67,000 mph (107,000 km/h), giving us our familiar 365.25-day year and changing seasons.\r\nBut the Sun is in motion too\u2014hurtling through the Milky Way at ~514,000 mph (828,000 km/h) on a grand orbit around the galactic center. One complete lap, known as a cosmic year, takes roughly 225\u2013230 million years.\r\nWhen the Sun finished its most recent galactic orbit, the earliest dinosaurs were just beginning to roam Earth.\r\nSince its birth ~4.6 billion years ago, our star has completed about 20 such orbits.\r\nStellar models predict the Sun will keep fusing hydrogen in its core for another ~5 billion years before it swells into a red giant and eventually fades into a white dwarf. At its current orbital speed, that leaves roughly 22 more laps around the Milky Way.\r\nEach cosmic year sweeps the entire Solar System tens of thousands of light-years across the galaxy\u2014through dense spiral arms rich with star-forming regions, past ancient globular clusters, and amid countless other stars.\r\nContinents drift, mountains rise and erode, entire species evolve and vanish\u2014all within a tiny fraction of one galactic circuit.\r\nHuman civilization, from the first cities to today\u2019s digital age, has existed for less than 0.001% of a single cosmic year.\r\nWe are passengers on a star halfway through its ~10-billion-year galactic journey across a 100,000-light-year-wide disk\u2014witnessing just the briefest sliver of one ongoing lap in an unimaginably vast cosmic dance.",
