The Milky - Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy. We are inside the disk of the Milky - Way. When we look towards the plane of the galaxy's disk, we see a large number of stars, creating the appearance of a band of light in the night sky. It is not spherical in the sense that we see the band along its plane. We are not at the center of the galaxy.
