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.
It is called the local spur arm. as we are not directly on the arm of a galaxy just between the sagittarius and perseus arms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
3-kpc and Perseus Arm Norma and Outer arm (Along with a newly discovered extension) Scutum-Centaurus Arm Carina-Sagittarius Arm There are at least two smaller arms or spurs, including: Orion-Cygnus arm (which contains the Sun and Solar System).
It is called the local spur arm. as we are not directly on the arm of a galaxy just between the sagittarius and perseus arms.
the formation of the universe is still a huge scientific controversy but the earth is located in the Orion Arm of the Milky way. The Orion Arm is not a major arm but located beween two major arms Perseus and Sagittarius. The Sun is located 26000 light years away from the center.

There are four major arms in the Milky Way * 3 kpc and Perseus Arm * Norma and Cygnus Arm with a new extension. * Scutum Crux Arm * Carina and Sagittarius Arm There are also a number of smaller arm, or spurs. * Orion Arm (Of which the Milky Way (Our Galaxy) is included) * New Outer Arm See related link for pictorial representation.
I think that a jerboa does have arms. If it wouldn't have arms,then what would it use to eat?
Tentacles= tent-tea-cals
An accent chair without arms doesn't have a specific name. The chairs with arms have specific names depending on the style, such as Warner or Chesterfield.

Some cool names are ones wit hletters instead of words like EP1CK1D
