New research suggests our Sun was part of a huge migration of Sun-like stars that moved away from the Milky Way’s center billions of years ago.
A groundbreaking study in galactic archaeology proves the Sun made a treacherous journey to reach its current home in the Milky Way suburbs.
The Gaia telescope spotted more than 6,000 sunlike stars, all of which appear to have migrated from the galaxy's center more than 4 billion years ago.
Our sun was born 4.6 billion years ago near the crowded center of the Milky Way and then migrated roughly 10,000 light-years outward to the peaceful galactic suburbs it currently occupies. Now a pair ...

A mass stellar migration billions of years ago may have helped life get started on Earth
Our sun and a host of "solar twins" may have migrated away from the core of the Milky Way galaxy together long ago, potentially making the solar system more hospitable to life.
Webb has captured the haunting “Exposed Cranium” nebula—an otherworldly cloud shaped by a dying star that looks remarkably like a brain inside a skull.
