About this deal

A galactic quadrant, or quadrant of the Milky Way, refers to one of four circular sectors in the division of the Milky Way. In astronomical practice, the delineation of the galactic quadrants is based upon the galactic coordinate system, which places the Sun as the origin of the mapping system. [108] This is significantly smaller than the Andromeda Galaxy's isophotal diameter, and slightly below the mean isophotal sizes of the galaxies being at 28.3kpc (92,000ly). [10] The paper concludes that the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy were not overly large spiral galaxies and as well as one of the largest known (if the former not being the largest) as previously widely believed, but rather average ordinary spiral galaxies. [117] To compare the relative physical scale of the Milky Way, if the Solar System out to Neptune were the size of a US quarter (24.3mm (0.955in)), the Milky Way would be approximately at least the greatest north–south line of the contiguous United States. [118] An even older study from 1978 gave a lower diameter for Milky Way about 23kpc (75,000ly). [10] In June 2023, astronomers reported using a new cascade neutrino technique [191] to detect, for the first time, the release of neutrinos from the galactic plane of the Milky Way galaxy, creating the first neutrino view of the Milky Way. [192] [193] Gamma rays and x-rays [ edit ] In western culture, the name "Milky Way" is derived from its appearance as a dim un-resolved "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky. The term is a translation of the Classical Latin via lactea, in turn derived from the Hellenistic Greek γαλαξίας, short for γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos), meaning "milky circle". The Ancient Greek γαλαξίας ( galaxias) – from root γαλακτ-, γάλα ("milk") + -ίας (forming adjectives) – is also the root of "galaxy", the name for our, and later all such, collections of stars.

A long-running advertising slogan for the product in the United Kingdom was, "The sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite". [12] In 1991, the Health Education Authority and anti-sugar lobbyists both complained, without success, to the Independent Television Commission that such advertising encouraged children to eat sweets between meals. The ITC agreed with Mars that its advertisements in fact encouraged restrained eating. [13] In 2010, two gigantic spherical bubbles of high energy gamma-emission were detected to the north and the south of the Milky Way core, using data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The diameter of each of the bubbles is about 25,000 light-years (7.7kpc) (or about 1/4 of the galaxy's estimated diameter); they stretch up to Grus and to Virgo on the night-sky of the southern hemisphere. [197] [198] Subsequently, observations with the Parkes Telescope at radio frequencies identified polarized emission that is associated with the Fermi bubbles. These observations are best interpreted as a magnetized outflow driven by star formation in the central 640ly (200pc) of the Milky Way.

In addition to the stellar halo, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku have provided evidence that there is a gaseous halo with a large amount of hot gas. The halo extends for hundreds of thousand of light-years, much farther than the stellar halo and close to the distance of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The mass of this hot halo is nearly equivalent to the mass of the Milky Way itself. [230] [231] [232] The temperature of this halo gas is between 1 and 2.5millionK (1.8 and 4.5million°F). [233]

The Milky Way's spiral structure is uncertain, and there is currently no consensus on the nature of the Milky Way's arms. [204] Perfect logarithmic spiral patterns only crudely describe features near the Sun, [202] [205] because galaxies commonly have arms that branch, merge, twist unexpectedly, and feature a degree of irregularity. [176] [205] [206] The possible scenario of the Sun within a spur / Local arm [202] emphasizes that point and indicates that such features are probably not unique, and exist elsewhere in the Milky Way. [205] Estimates of the pitch angle of the arms range from about 7° to 25°. [149] [207] There are thought to be four spiral arms that all start near the Milky Way Galaxy's center. [208] These are named as follows, with the positions of the arms shown in the image below: The Milky Way candy bar was advertised in 1925, as having more malted milk content than a soda fountain double malted milk.

The idea of putting malt-flavored taste in chocolate was because of the malt that was used to create milkshakes. The Milky Way bar name became trademarked by Mars Inc. in 1925. In 1926, the company was moved to Chicago Illinois and shortly thereafter, by 1929, the Milky Way bar was the best-selling candy bar in the United States . Kruit, Pieter C. van der (2019).

The controversy was conclusively settled by Edwin Hubble in the early 1920s using the Mount Wilson observatory 2.5m (100in) Hooker telescope. With the light-gathering power of this new telescope, he was able to produce astronomical photographs that resolved the outer parts of some spiral nebulae as collections of individual stars. He was also able to identify some Cepheid variables that he could use as a benchmark to estimate the distance to the nebulae. He found that the Andromeda Nebula is 275,000 parsecs from the Sun, far too distant to be part of the Milky Way.

The map shows the density of stars in each portion of the sky. Brighter regions indicate denser concentrations of stars. Darker regions across the Galactic Plane correspond to dense clouds of interstellar gas and dust that absorb starlight. The Milky Way bar was invented in the year 1924, and by 1926 there were 2 versions available. What Was the Milky Way Bar Named After? Jones, Barrie William (2008).

The early versions of the ads for this bar stated that the bar had more malted milk than a soda fountain double. This would have made the bar seem very healthy to consume in those days and while this seems totally against common sense now, people would have been drawn to these candy bars for health reasons at the time.

Alternative gravity theories such as modified Newtonian dynamics reject the idea of dark matter, instead seeking to explain discrepancies by tweaking Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Although the disk contains dust that obscures the view in some wavelengths, the halo component does not. Active star formation takes place in the disk (especially in the spiral arms, which represent areas of high density), but does not take place in the halo, as there is little cool gas to collapse into stars. [105] Open clusters are also located primarily in the disk. [225]
