My recollection is that the Milky Way Galaxy was determined to be a barred spiral galaxy in the relatively recent past (maybe even in the current century), but there is nothing about this either in this article or in the article on [[barred spiral galaxy|barred spiral galaxies]]. I think something should be included about the time period when this was discovered. I putzed around a while in the notes trying to find a date or a source, but I couldn't locate one right away.

Should not the [[Lead paragraph|lede]] the article correctly be worded as: "The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains '''<u>Earth's</u>''' Solar System." rather than "'''<u>our</u>''' Solar System."? The use of ''{{rn|our}}'' presumes the reader lives in said Solar System, which in in conflict with [[WP:BIAS]]. <font face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;→&nbsp;[[User:Michael J|Michael&nbsp;J]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Michael J|Ⓣ]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Michael J|Ⓒ]]&nbsp;[[Special:Emailuser/Michael_J|Ⓜ]]</font> 22:29, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
