The Astrology of Space
The Galactic Sphere
The diagrams in this section illustrate the general
features of the Galaxy. Our Sun is located very much
toward the edge or rim of the galactic disk, rather than
toward the center. Keep in mind that we are
embedded deep within the plane of the galaxy and
that there are countless stars above and below us as
well as toward the center and rim of the galactic disk.
However, by far the greatest concentration of light
and stellar matter appears to us in the direction of the
Galactic Center and Anti-Center, as we look through
or along the actual plane of the galaxy. If we look
(from the Earth) in the direction of the North or South
Pole of the Galaxy, we are not peering through the
countless stars concentrated in the disk, but rather
through a relatively thin sheet of stars between us and
the intergalactic void beyond.
