The
Milky
Way
and
other

spiral

contain
about
one
hundred
billion
stars.
Our
solar
sys-

is
located
between
two
of
the
outer
spiral
arms
of
the
galaxy.
When
we
look
at
the
Milky
Way,
we
are
seeing
stars,
gases,
and
dust
clouds.
For
centuries
the
starry
heavens
above
us
have
been
regarded
as
immortal,
only
interrupted
by
the
regular
motion
of
the
planets
and
sometimes
by
the
ominous
appearance
of
comets
or
“guest
stars”
that
become
visible
for
a
few
weeks.
