Hi skeletalparader,
Obviously we haven’t been outside our galaxy so we can’t really know for sure what it looks like.
You can assume that it’s unlikely to be too different to those around us which tend to be spiral galaxies. Far cleverer people than me have studied the way that the gases and stars in our galaxy move and agree it is likely to be spiral. Scientist have seen a bulge in the centre in the same way as other spiral galaxies.
Science is all about building up evidence to get the clearest picture you can because you can never be completely sure you’re right.
