Our solar system isn't stationary, it's traveling around the Milky Way at 200 kilometers per second, or 490,000 miles per hour. Even at this rapid speed, the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the Milky Way. The Milky Way, too, moves in space relative to other galaxies.
