Magnified view of the Gaia DR2-derived map of the Galactic bar (Anders et al. 2019). The contours represent the four highest density levels. To guide the eye, an ellipse inclined by 45 deg is drawn in blue. Only RC stars with good StarHorse flags close to the Galactic plane (|ZGal|< 3 kpc) are shown. The figure contains approximately 30 million stars.
