Fucking Science and Shit!

If we're inside the Milky Way then how do we know what it looks? I always wondered.
I was genuinely curious.Considering the thread title I thought it a reasonable philosophical question.Sheesh.

Y'all need to lighten up.
 
It was a good question and it was asked in the proper forum. Unfortunately, you got two things wrong:

1. You forgot that we're just here to hate on shit.
2. You were high.

3. I answered him: SPITZER

(Duh. I googled that shit.)
 
Hardly an unimpeachable source there Crow...I would have trouble believing anything Eliot Spitzer said...let alone galactic morphology!
 
I'm not sure who that is,but I'm always in awe of those guys in the 17 and 18 hundreds making all these calculations by hand.No other way but to just crunch the numbers and figure out all the math formulas.And then calculate things like orbits and such.Crazy.

The Milky Way was once considered an ordinary spiral galaxy. Astronomers first began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy in the 1990s.[22]Their suspicions were confirmed by Spitzer Space Telescope observations in 2005,[23] which showed that the Milky Way's central bar is larger than was previously suspected.

After 10 years capturing 2 million infrared snapshots of our galaxy using the Spitzer Space Telescope, NASA has created a 360-degree panoramic view of our galaxy, showing stars from across the 100,000 light years of the Milky Way.
 
I'm all for higher learning.But someone is overthinking it.
