MilkyWay

a Map of the Milky Way galaxy, as seen from above

Of particular interest to our research should be the "central bulge" at the middle of the galactic hub, because it is this "central bulge" that is at the core of our spiral galaxy. In this depiction by an artist from NASA, we see more clearly what astornnomical observations indicate: the central bulge at the core of our galaxy is actually oriented at an angle to the rest of the spiralling arms of the Milky Way. The reason for this remained unknown until astronomical observations were able to pierce the central core more closely.
