Studying morphology, i.e. the shape of our galaxy ( the milky way), is a
difficult thing to do.
Why is that? Because we don't have directed eyesight of our galaxy.
From our position inside the Milky Way, much of its size, contents, and
three-dimensional structure is really tricky to figure out.What we currently
know is that we live in a spiral galaxy.

Follow me in this video to get to know more about our fantastic galaxy
and its new...Cattail!
Astronomers discovered a new colossal structure, and named it “Cattail”.
It's huge.
But it is such a wonder. Before seeing what we know about it, let's talk
a bit about the structure of our galaxy: it will help us understand better why
this discovery is so peculiar.
The Milky Way Galaxy’s structure is fairly typical of a large spiral
system. This structure can be viewed as consisting of six separate parts: (1) a
nucleus, (2) a central bulge, (3) a disk (both a thin and a thick disk), (4)
spiral arms, (5) a spherical component, and (6) a massive halo. Some of these
components blend into each other.
At the very centre of the Galaxy lies a remarkable object—a massive
black hole surrounded by an accretion disk of high-temperature gas.
