Question
The relative rotation of this body is quantified with the Oort constants. Gamma ray observations revealed the two“Fermi bubbles” above and below this body. Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 were discovered despite being obscured by the“zone of avoidance” that this body creates in the sky. The 2020 Nobel in Physics was awarded to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez for determining that the intense radio source at the center of this body, Sagittarius A* (“A-star”) was a supermassive black hole. The Large and Small Magellanic clouds orbit this body, which will collide in about 5 billion years with its nearest neighbor Andromeda. For 10 points, name this galaxy that contains the Solar System. ■END■
