Its a cloud of excited particles crowding around a supermassive blackhole that lies in the center of the milky way.

Lets re-write the history books again!!! It is becoming hard to keep up with all the new planets and discoveries that are being made in outer space, but it is so fascinating.

just remember that everyone of those lights in the sky at night are a universe, and each of those lights have millions of suns, which have hundreds of planets surrounding them, and their might be a chance that one of those planets have life.

There's information about the science behind measuring the galaxy in the clipped article - I'm not sure I understand one hundred percent and I didn't want to butcher an explanation.
The article also says the 'old' Milky Way could be compared to a 5-foot-5 140 pound man, and the 'new' Milky Way would be a 6-foot-3 210 pound linebacker!
