The Milky Way's shape resembles a fried egg due to its flattened disk structure with a central bulge, similar to the yolk of the egg. The disk contains stars, gas, and dust, while the bulge houses older stars concentrated at the center. Just like the egg white spreads out around the yolk, the galaxy's spiral arms extend outward from the central region, creating a visually similar appearance. This analogy highlights the galaxy's overall structure and distribution of materials.

Predecessor of the Milky Way bar?

FAT EMMA. In the early 1920s, the Pendergast Candy Company in Minneapolis introduced a candy bar with a nougat center. They planned to call it the Emma bar. But when it wound up twice as thick as expected (they accidentally put too much egg white in the mixture), they changed the name to Fat Emma. Later, Frank Mars copied the idea to create the Milky Way bar.


How do you use spherical in a sentence?

What happens if you put an egg in space?

In space, an egg would float due to the lack of gravity. Without the force of gravity pulling the denser yolk downward, the egg would retain its shape and appear spherical. In the vacuum of space, the egg would not cook or freeze instantly as commonly believed, but it would eventually freeze over time due to the extreme cold temperatures.
