Its always fascinating to learn more about the galaxy we live in. Space is truly one of the final frontiers for human exploration, an area we know little about. I wonder why that the center is made up of a line of stars, and why they line up? Would this implicate that the entire galaxy is held together perfectly and gravitationally? What happens if one of the stars disappears?
