In summary, the Sun's twin star may be common, and Jupiter may have formed from aggregation of material in the protoplanetary disk.

The posters are probably drawings. We can't see to the center of the galaxy in visible light because there's too much dust in the way.

Looking edge on from the outer disk makes that a difficult task. Only radio telescopes can effectively see through the haze between us and the MW center.
