Click on the "More Views" button below the galaxy map and zoom in towards the horizontal image of our Galaxy. At 0 degrees is the ceter of the galaxy, just to the "right" of Lagoon M8.

Now that you have a "landmark" to go by, again click the "More Views" button below this constellations map and find Sagittarius (near the far righthand side of the map). You be looking towards the galactic bulge that makes up the center of our galaxy. You'll also notice with this map how the Milky Way encircles our sky. Our planetary system doesn't rotate along the same plane of elliptic as the disk of the galaxy, much like Pluto doesn't with the rest of the planets (if Pluto remains catagorized as a planet that is) only more so.
