the milky way consists of a bar-shaped core region surrounded by a warped disk of gas, dust and stars. the mass distribution within the milky way closely resembles the type sbc in the hubble classification, which represents spiral galaxies with relatively loosely wound arms. astronomers first began to suspect that the milky way is a barred spiral galaxy, rather than an ordinary spiral galaxy, in the 1960s. their suspicions were confirmed by the spitzer space telescope observations in 2005 that showed the milky way's central bar to be larger than previously thought.
