Well dear....we aren't centrally placed in our milky way galaxy.....our solar system lies at a distance of about 30,000 light years from its centre....and we don't know the extremities of our universe yet hence our position with respect to the universe can't be measured..

Sol lies in the outer rim of the Milky Way Galaxy, in the Orion Arm if I'm not mistaken. It's hard to say where in the universe we are, since we don't know the entire scope of the universe at this time.

we are only yet another set of stars, planets, moons, rock, airborne dirt and dirt, molecules and darkish remember which sort a galaxy. The Milky way has no importance compared to different galaxies contained in the universe. we are no longer the centre of the universe, we are no longer the in straight forward words galaxy with planets, we are only part of yet another part of the grand area we call the universe.

Well, if the idea that space is infinite is correct, it would not be wrong to say that YOU are at the exact center of the universe, since it could go on forever in all directions.
It would not be right either, though. Infinity has no reference frame to say where anything is. It just is.

honestly speaking our position in the universe is undetermined as it is with everything ,position is relative and the universe is too large according to me to fix a frame of reference
