What If Earth Was Near the Center of the Milky Way?

See that strip of stars splashed across the night sky? That's our home galaxy, the Milky Way. You can see it from Earth because we live on its very outskirts, far away from all the fun stuff happening in its center. What would it be like to reside in its galactic downtown? Would we still have our familiar Sun? What would our night sky look like? Would we get sucked into a black hole?

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

Produced by Underknown in Toronto, What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
