This might be a really dumb question, but I've been doing some reading
for fun and have come to understand the following...

Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy which has a whole
bunch of other solar systems in it, closest being Alpha Centauri. So
what is the name of our Solar System? It seems like a simple question,
but I can't find the answer. Is it Sol?

Thanks.


Perhaps someday it will be the "Robert C. Byrd Planetary System."
