I was actually offering a readable explanation for folks who may not understand the math or the theory.

I think most people on this forum are familiar with your wonderful efforts to provide knowledge to those of us less informed on space and the science involved. Unfortunately, some would reply to your generous offer with sarcasm. I love sarcasm but there is a time and a place. A reply to you wasn't it. Keep up the good work. Most of us enjoy your posts.

This is a good thread, keep up the good work. I do enjoy your all the posts and was not being sarcastic. A little humor sometimes get the best of me. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy and barred spiral galaxies are relatively common, up to two-thirds of all spiral galaxies contain a bar and over time they transform into a spiral galaxies. Each spiral arm, four major spiral arms in our galaxy, our Sun is in a smaller arm "the Orion Arm." If the arms do collide, it is thought that our sun and other stars will not collide with other Suns, but merge to form larger spur over the course of about a billion. The color of the sky (universe) called "Cosmic Latte" and has been determined to be a Blueish white. Again we enjoy your posts and thanks.
