This book examines the distribution of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The author, a prominent astronomer, uses advanced mathematical techniques to identify three principal planes toward which most stars tend to bunch up, though with different densities. One plane is defined by our own solar system and is inclined slightly from the other two. The findings challenge the prevailing view that the Milky Way is a flat disc with a uniform distribution of stars. Instead, the author suggests that our galaxy is more of a thick, flattened spheroid with a central bulge. His research has significant implications for our understanding of the Milky Way and the universe as a whole.
