I always thought we were in one of the outer most arms... this pc shows we are we are mid way in!! I finding this pic hard to believe from what weve seen from earth based optics. Strong milkyway on one side and virtually nothing on the other.
Well, it is true.
The reason it is so much brighter on one side is the huge bulge that is the galactic center.
The rest of the galaxy is like a record album, and we’re just sitting in some groove.
