No. It is a disk-shaped galaxy, like a pinwheel, with several curved radial arms and a large mass at the center.
The closest thing to a "clump" of stars are the so-called "globular clusters" which are more spherical in organization than other common galaxies.

How many Red Dwarf Stars are there in the Milky Way Galaxy that we know of in October of 2011?
The Milky Way has somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars; most of those are red dwarf stars.
How many stars are identified in your milky way galaxy and Andromeda?
We will never have any accurate answer, for several reasons. 1. We're inside the Milky Way, and there is at least a third of it that is hidden from view on the other side of the galactic core. Estimates as to the number of stars in our galaxy ranged up to 400 billion stars, but that was just a guess. 2. In the last year or so, the estimates have more than DOUBLED, because we now think that there are vastly more of the very small and dim "brown dwarf" stars. We now estimate that there may be a TRILLION stars in the Milky Way. 3. Andromeda is a very long way away; the only individual stars that can be seen are the few very brightest stars such as supernovas. But because Andromeda is, we think, even larger than the Milky Way, an estimate of a trillion stars is probably quite reasonable.
What galaxy is Canopus from?
Yes. Every star that is visible to the naked eye is in the Milky Way galaxy. You need astonishingly powerful telescopes to distinguish even the largest and brightest stars in nearby galaxies.
Is the Milky Way in the same place in relation to the constellation Osiris?
The stars that make up the Constellations (Osiris which we call Orion now is no exception) are all within the Milky Way galaxy. The relative positions of stars changes over great time scales but since the Egyptians named Osiris to our day the changes have been barely noticeable. That goes for the position of the Milky Way in the sky too.
The earth is part of galaxy called the milky way?
Yes, the Earth is in the Milky Way. Every star you can see in the sky at night is also in the Milky Way. With the naked eye, you cannot see any stars that are not in the Milky Way. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda and it is just about visible with the naked eye, looking like a hazy dust in the sky, but you would not see any stars in it. It is the furthest thing away that we can see with the naked eye. It is hard to be accurate but it is about 2,500,000 light years away. That is about 14,674,284,000,000,000,000 miles away. To see stars in it, you'd need a very powerful telescope.
Young stars in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Yes, there are young stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Is the milky way in line with a path of stars?

Can you see the Milky Way stars?
The Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. We can see stars at night, so yes.
