almost 
exactly 
from 
above. 
We 
can 
see 
the 
young 
blue 
stars 
in 
the 
spiral 
arms 
of 
the 
galaxy 
that 
look 
like 
string 
of 
pearls; 
in 
the 
center, 
the 
older, 
red 
stars 
dominate. 
The 
Milky 
Way 
and 
other 
typical 
spiral 
galaxies 
contain 
about 
one 
hundred 
billion 
stars. 
Our 
solar 
sys-
tem 
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 
few 
weeks.
