It is about 50000 Light years away from Earth and it is called Urmomocole, it was named after the stinkiest fart in the world, which was done by Jose Urmomocole who discovered the Galaxy. He travelled into a Wormhole and fought Space Pirates and Aliens and found a very strange Galaxy, which he then named, 'Urmomocole'. The 4 Arms are tentacle like, and it is said to be really sticky, Urmomocole decided to enter the strange Galaxy and it raped him really hard, he said in the centre, it was a very cold place, holding 9 Planets, he then named them Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury, then something bad happen, then suddenly everything exploded and then that is why our Galaxy has 4 Spiral Arms, cos I don't really give a crap.

Why does the Milky Way galaxy NOT look like a spiral when viewed from Earth?
It does not look like a spiral because we are inside the disk that forms the spiral arms. To see the spiral, you have to be outside the galaxy, viewing the disk from above or below.
Why does the Milk Way galaxy appears to be flat?
Well it depends what u mean because maybe its because you observed it in a large picture or u viewed it from above
Are there any other galaxies shaped like the milky way galaxy?
We don't know exactly what the Milky Way is shaped like in detail, because we're inside it, but it appears to be a barred spiral galaxy, and there are many, many galaxies of that general type.Comment for the above updated answer, from another contributor.Thanks for updating my answer. However, " it appears to be" and "there are many, many galaxies of that general type", are subjective statements.
What would the milky way look like if you saw it above the galaxy?
It would look like a spiral from above, with two main stellar arms and a central bar.
What is a Galaxy bugle?
A bulge is a tight group of stars found at the center of most spiral galaxies. The bright spot an the center of the galaxy in the picture above is the bulge. If this galaxy were seen from the side the collection of stars would create a bulge (spheroid) expanding out from the otherwise rather flat galaxy.
What are screw threads?
A screw operates by a raised ledge which proceeds up the shaft of the screw in a spiral. This raised ledge is called the thread of the screw. Since the spiral can either proceed in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner, we distinguish between right-hand thread screws (counterclockwise as viewed from above) and left-hand thread screws (clockwise).
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located inside the Milky Way galaxy about midway between the galaxy's edge and its center.our solar system is in one of the spiral arms of our galaxy. This is where most healthy young stars are, as opposed to the aging red giants nearer to the dense core of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing is particularly special about our position in space, besides the fact that it is an area of new star formation.if you want a picture then see the related link.
How old do you have to be to play spiral knights?
Above 13 years of age.
What direction do sunspots move?
Sunspots move slow, every 5 years. They rotate every 5 years.
In weather, what does a low pressure system mean?
A low pressure system is a whirling mass of warm, moist air that generally brings stormy weather with strong winds. When viewed from above, winds spiral into a low-pressure center in a counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere.
What did the trilobite look like?
See the related link. The uppermost of the specimens is viewed as a cross section, and the lower is viewed from above.
What appears left of neon on the periodic table?
