The Milky Way.
It is also in a classification of galaxies. Because of the technology of hubble deep space satalite telescopes, our galaxy is no longer catagorized as a spiral galaxy, but as a barred spiral galaxy.
If you would like to get a birds eye view in to compare what our galaxy resembles. Take a look at our nearest galaxy visible by the naked eye called, the Endromeda Galaxy.

Our galaxy is called, "The Milky Way".
"The Milky Way (a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn derived from the Greek ÎÎ±Î»Î±Î¾Î¯Î±Ï (Galaxias), sometimes referred to simply as "the Galaxy"), is a barred spiral galaxy of the Local Group. Although the Milky Way is but one of billions of galaxies in the universe, the Galaxy has special significance to humanity as it is the home of the Solar System. Democritus (450 BC–370 BC) was the first known person to claim that the Milky Way consists of distant stars"
