The Solar System’s location in the Milky War is the product of flawless de-
sign. Life on Earth would be impossible if it were elsewhere in the Galaxy.

Normally, stars located between spiral arms cannot main-
tain their position for prolonged periods of time, since they are
eventually absorbed into the spirals. Yet our solar system has
maintained its orbit between the galaxy’s spiral arms for the past
4.5 billion years.
Our location’s stability is due to the fact that our Sun is one
of very few stars positioned on the trajectory called “galactic co-
rotation radius.”
For a star to maintain its position between two spiral arms

depends on its distance from the core of the galaxy. In other
words, it needs to be on the co-rotation radius, so that it travels
around the center at the same speed as do the spiral arms. 26
Among our galaxy’s billions of stars, only our Sun has both this
special position as well as the required velocity.
