Abstract
Near‐infrared observations of the Galactic bulge from the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on‐board NASA’s Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite are discussed. Emphasis is placed on preliminary analysis of asymmetries in the brightness distribution of the bulge, and the implications for the presence of a stellar bar in the bulge region.
