This 3D cube is so special. 80,000 stars of the Milky Way was etched using a laser. The data is exact and provided from Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory after some debates between the Japanese government and manufacturer company because of the usage of observatory data. The galaxy is situated in the cube to the right because the Earth is the center in the cube. Interesting astronomy gadget for science fans.

If it’s really the milky way galaxy, where’s the bar? Our galaxy has a bar in the center.
It’s a nice looking spiral galaxy anyway.
Check out this which used data from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center:

Considering the fact that we have NO IDEA what the other side of our galaxy looks like (or even a large portion of this side), this is completely bogus.
