Spiral Arms Present

  • EvanHollander by EvanHollander

    Just wanted to state an idea, that although spiral arms are not immediately visible to the eye, or visible at all, we know that they are present in a form of a blue light. The edges of this seem to definitely posses a blue glow. I was just wondering peoples thoughts on this, or if others believed there were underlying spiral arms present. Thank you

    Sometimes it is best not to jump a step in your deductions 😃 Please see image and link. But most of the time you will be right.
