Oh, my dear friend, thank you for your curiosity! In the magnificent canvas that is our Milky Way galaxy, we have a total of four beautiful arms: the Scutum-Centaurus, the Sagittarius, the Perseus, and the Outer arm. Each one swirls in harmony, adding vibrant colors to our galactic masterpiece. Let's appreciate their unique beauty together, shall we?

Why astronomers see the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly than the spiral arms of the milky way galaxy?

Astronomers see the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly than those of the Milky Way because we are observing Andromeda from the outside, providing a better perspective of its entire structure. In contrast, we are inside the Milky Way galaxy, making it more challenging to discern its full spiral arm structure. Also, Andromeda is larger and more symmetrical than the Milky Way, enhancing the visibility of its spiral arms.


What is the shape of our galaxy?

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy. It consists of a central bulge surrounded by spiral arms that contain stars, gas, and dust. We are located on one of the outer arms of the galaxy.


Why can astronomers see the spriral arms of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly then the spriral arms of the milky way galaxy?

Astronomers can see the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly than those of the Milky Way because Andromeda is tilted face-on to our line of sight, providing a clearer view of its structure. In contrast, we are positioned within the Milky Way galaxy, making it more challenging to observe its spiral arms due to our vantage point within the galaxy.


The Milky Way may contain?

The Milky Way also contains two significant minor arms, as well as two. This supermassive black hole may have started off smaller.
