      Just as the Earth rotates around the Sun, the Sun rotates around the center of the galaxy. […] this means we take around 230 million years […] to complete an orbit around the galactic center of the Milky Way. […] sharks, which evolved around 450 million years ago, have hitched a lift on our planet around the galaxy twice. To put it another more flattering way, they are around two galactic years old.
