Love the spiral galaxies. Am reminded somewhat of a starfish going into full hug mode.

The Milky Way has a right to bear arms ... even if they are spiral.

I'm sorry for being stupid, but if we're at the edge of one "arm" of our galaxy how do we know that it's a spiral?

We see other odd shaped galaxies. Why not us?

And here I always thought it was “conservation of angular momentum” a concept from freshman physics that explains why the planets are all in the same plane around the sun, and why spiral galaxies are pretty much all in one plane also.

It also tells us that most stars should have planets, which was a radical concept up until 20 years ago.
