We are on the outside of the milky way, looking in pretty much. We can see these other stars. The milky way is 100,000 light years across. We're probably 20,000 from the edge, so we're looking through 80,000 light years of space.

If you can find Orion the Hunter, you can pinpoint the center of the galaxy. On his belt where his sword comes down, there is a faint cluster of stars that points directly to the center of our galaxy.

Ah alright, but since we are kinda a sprial like a blender cause of that blade. Do we eventually get sucked into the center?
