The massive new survey of stars reveals a definitive bar feature at the
centre of the Milky Way, some 27,000 light years in length (Artist's

I thought its chocolate covered center held caramel and nougat?

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun...

The Milky Way is not a perfect spiral galaxy but instead sports a long bar through its centre Must be getting close to football season...

hmmm...seems familiar
Hero's engine
Legendary characters used the power of mythology to fly through the heavens. About 100 BC a Greek inventor known as Hero of Alexandria came up with a new invention that depended more on the mechanical interaction of heat and water. He invented a rocket-like device called an aeolipile. It used steam for propulsion. Hero mounted a sphere on top of a water kettle. A fire below the kettle turned the water into steam, and the gas traveled through the pipes to the sphere. Two L-shaped tubes on opposite sides of the sphere allowed the gas to escape, and in doing so gave a thrust to the sphere that caused it to rotate.

A bar! Fantastic. Wonder how the drinks are- bet the prices are terrible but there's lots of parking!
Stay away from Corellians and Wookiees- they cause fights wherever they go.
