How do we know the Milky way looks like a large barred Spiral Galaxy?
It’s just theoretically impossible. It’s like knowing how yourself look like without a mirror/camera/alike. We see those pictures of Milky way in books/online/etc., but how do they know what it looks like (when we, ourselves, are in it)? We must have put cameras/Telescopes outside of our Milky Way Galaxy, but that’s not possible.
Same way the ancients figured out that the Earth is a sphere. Same way a blind person can tell what you look like; LOGIC and meticulous observation. If you place a stick in the ground and watch its shadow(that is exactly how the ancient Greeks did it) you will note that at sunrise it casts a long shadow to the west which gradually shortens in length till it becomes vertical and then continues to elongate in the opposite direction. The only surface shape that allows this phenomenon to occur is a circle. Same thing with the shape of our galaxy. From the angle that light (Visible range or macro/micro waves) hits our telescopes (radio/reflectors etc) and with the gaps (absence of concentration of Stars) this is the only shape our Galaxy could be. We do not have to leave the planet to figure out things or shapes. Interestingly enough most instruments we have are not used to discover things but to confirm or reject theories. The human brain is an awesome tool.
