How might your view of the milky way be different if the sun were located inside the central bulge?

Answer 1

I'm going to give you both: Reality and fictional. The reality is, if our Sun was in the Central bulge, we wouldn't be alive to know what the sky would look like. As with most Galaxies, the central bulge is a giant Black Hole that devours anything that gets too close to it. However, with that fact aside if we were to be located there, the sky would have billions of stars. In fact, Earth would have no Night or day; it would only have day. There would most likely be a lot of gases, and we would see this as it swirled around us. Though we can see the gas within the Galaxy from earth (with our naked eye. It's part of that cloudy substance that we can see at night,) it is nothing compared to what we would see if we were located in the Central Bulge. At the Central Bulge, the night sky would most likely appear much like a Nebula; different colors of gas that would be easily visible from Earth. Furthermore, as I said, there would be billions of stars (Mostly young developing Stars)

Answer 2

If the Sun were located inside the central bulge of the Milky Way, the night sky would likely be much brighter due to the higher density of stars and stellar activity. We would have a closer view of the galactic center, potentially seeing more dramatic phenomena such as supernovae and black holes. However, the increased radiation and gravitational forces could also pose challenges for life on Earth.
