They don’t know what the Milky Way looks like from the outside. No clue.

According to the photo, the European Space Agency is located well outside the galaxy. That’s about right.

Sure we do. It’s chocolate.

You can even see it in the picture above. Some of the Milky Way has turned white. A clear sign of being old. It's still edible though.

If you want to have fun with scientists ask them how many universes there are....
It is almost as much fun as asking them how many genders there are....

Not sure if I like having sausage in my Milky Way I don't know. Have you ever had bacon chocolate chip cookies? Pretty good.
I thought it was pretty well known that galaxies are pulled apart, merge, get reformed as other galaxies. I wouldn't be surprised if the Milky Way had some old, left-overs in it.

So it looks like our galaxy is a barred spiral? Not as pretty as Andromeda. Although I had a 63 Galaxy 500 with a 390. It was cool and a huge back seat to fit some heavenly bodies at the drive in.

Mars bar was cancelled in America but exists in Canada and the UK
I ordered some on line and learned that the current alien Mars bars are closer to the American Milkey Way than the classic American Mars candy bar.
This difference may account for the speculative age of the galaxy
Since the Milky Way galaxy has been accreting for untold ages and is in fact still in a formative accretive state, it cannot actually be given an age.

No big deal. Closer to home I’ve seen women in bars in Seattle that you could say the same about.

So, old enough to drink, then? When it collides with Andromeda, they can have a toast.
