Visual knowledge graph
Relationships, not isolated facts
This viewport is generated from the Asteria knowledge graph. Science, culture, and interpretive links remain separated by domain so visual context never changes the evidentiary meaning of a relation.
- Part ofThe Milky Way
An open cluster within the Milky Way.

galaxy morphologyBarred Spiral Galaxy
A spiral galaxy whose arms wind out from the ends of a straight bar of stars crossing the centre. The bar channels gas inward, feeding star formation and the central black hole. The Milky Way is one.
