What is in space below Earth?

If by “below" you mean to the south of Earth, then the answer is “most
of the galaxy".

Our solar system is actually tipped about 60° in relation to the plane
of the galaxy:

So at any one time a fair amount of the stars in the Milky Way are in
Earth's southern skies. I know, I grew up in the Southern Hemisphere and
I can assure you there are plenty of stars over the southern pole.

In fact, you get a much better view of the galactic centre from the
southern hemisphere. Check this out, you won’t get a night sky like this
in the northern hemisphere:

So basically, it's stars in every direction.

I never knew about the 60° tilt. Fascinating
