I was wondering if our galaxy looks similar to NG 7331? I have always been curious about that.

Take a look at this. Reading the description of this recent APOD would indicate the world we live in is indeed a similar spiral

You may know this one. It seems our galay could be a barred-spiral. Here a one year old article
