Those constellations mark the areas of the sky where you have to look in order

to see those regions of the Milky way. Of course, you can see the constellations

with your own eyes, but it takes a serious telescope to make out the spiral arms

of our galaxy.

How many spiral arms dose the milky way galaxy have?

It's really impossible for us to know but we can give pretty good simulations. You see Science is techniccaly limited to what humans can observe. Seeing that the only way to observe the milky way is to travel 1,000,000 light years away is impossible you can't scientifically prove how many arms we have. How ever by calculating the distance, and right ascension of millions of stars we can get a good guess. Most pictures will agree that the Milky Way has something to the effect of 5 arms. It seems like much more because each arme loops around 3-4 times.


Where do scientists believe that our solar system is located in our galaxy?

We (and the sun) are on a far arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. If you look up in the sky on some clear nights, you can see an almost greenish cloud-like mass. That's the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy. Since we're out on a limb, we can see the rest of it. If that doesn't make sense, think of it this way- If you are at the top on the far west side of a football stadium, then you can see the whole stadium, top and bottom, in a pretty much unobstructed view. That's about where we are in the galaxy. Of course, we are constantly spinning and moving, but we'll be in the same relative place for quite a while.


What galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?

The Milky Way galaxy has several spiral arms that extend from a central core. While the core itself contains a supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, the arms do not specifically extend from the black hole but rather spiral out from the central bulge of the galaxy.


Which galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?

The Milky Way appears to have a huge (even for a black hole) gravitational object at the center of it, and this is supposed by a lot of scientists to be a black hole. The arms of our galaxy sweep around the center.
