Summary

Description
English: This artist’s impression shows how the Milky Way galaxy would look seen from almost edge on and from a very different perspective than we get from the Earth. The central bulge shows up as a peanut shaped glowing ball of stars and the spiral arms and their associated dust clouds form a narrow band.
Русский: Так художник представляет себе вид Галактики Млечного Пути извне – почти с ребра и совсем не так, как мы привыкли видеть ее с Земли. Центральный балдж – арахисообразный светящийся звездный шар; спиральные ветви и связанные с ними пылевые облака сливаются в узкую полосу.
