That explains a lot....

“Most depictions of our galaxy show it as being rather flat”

Because they are just quick illustration for survey-level reference books.

I’m sure most still dont even depict it as a proper barred-spiral and still show it as a pinwheel.

Looks elegant, to me; kinda like a bird in flight.

Looks a lot like my collection of 33 rpm LP records from the 1960s!

This is a really interesting discovery.

Thanks for posting.

But is it Chicago style, or thin crust?

Okay. But you don’t see a lot of green-edged galaxies.

The existence of LIB lunatics proves that our galaxy is “warped”.

There’s no shortage of warpage on Erf alone...

Now that you mentioned it, it does.

Or a Romulan Warbird

What level math would be used to graph that image? Some university prof is gonna use that as a test question because it’s too good to pass up.

[BenLurkin]

if it involves more than the sum of my fingers and toes then it’s too hard for me.

[Bullish]

Does that explain why liberals are so warped?

Give hem five years and they will figure out where they made their math mistakes !

I’m partial to the bird interpretation. (God appears to have certain design motifs that He uses over and over, in different variations/permutations :-).
