"At an altitude of 16,000 light-years, the 33 and 42 stars belonging to clusters Camargo 438 and Camargo 439, respectively, have an exceptional (if heavily obscured) outsider’s view of the Milky Way’s spiral design."- http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/new-stars-at-the-edge-of-the-milky-way-03052015/

Interestingly enough, many clusters of stars has been reported to have been spotted far above the galactic plane of the Milky Way. This is strange due to the fact that star formation tends to occur within the Galactic Plane of the galaxy and not above or below it. This leaves these clusters of stars with "an outsider's view of the Milky Way's spiral design." Possible explanations for the formations of these stars is that during supernova explosions within the early formation of the galaxy, gas clouds of hydrogen were emitted far outside of our plane. Given the ideal conditions would later condensed and form stars. Due to the young ages of these stars, it appears that they have only just recently condensed and this could be because they so happen to spiral perpendicular to the galactic disk of our galaxy.
