#7  "Study Details Bar at Center of Milky Way"

#6  Center of the Milky Way is probably more likely to be a very ugly collection of black holes [insert snarky comment about the DNC here]. Given the amount of mass that has to be there and the length of time for things to evolve, the mechanics for black holes as currently understood, it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out.

#5  

Cumulative "mass" of objects of different sizes and shapes in the bar, no doubt, like the one above is humongous...

#4  "bar is far longer than previously believed, and at a specific angle.

This pickup line worked in college but not too well afterwards.

#3  Its precise size, shape and mass are still unknown

In other words, this is all pretty much conjecture.
Still rather amazing if accurate.

#1  Study Details Bar,

It's a bar of caramel coated chocolate nougat, covered with milk chocolate.

OK Kids, Mr. Science wants to know: ¿Do Milky Way Bars “Build Strong Bodies in 12 Ways”?

¿Wots that *yellow patch* in our Milky Way Galaxy?
