what we believe is central to our existence

What we know is natural. What we do not know or understand is the supernatural, because we do not know it. It therefore requires faith to be believed. There are those who want the super natural to be believable but if it were believable it would be natural, not supernatural and require no belief at all. Belief is the central activity of our lives in the concrete world leading to the abstract world of the spirit. What we believe is spiritual and is the prime activity of our existence.

Milky Way Explanation

Gazing out from within the Milky Way, our own galaxy's true structure is difficult to discern. But an ambitious survey effort with the Spitzer Space Telescope now offers convincing evidence that we live in a large galaxy distinguished by two main spiral arms (the Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus arms) emerging from the ends of a large central bar. In fact, from a vantage point that viewed our galaxy face-on, astronomers in distant galaxies would likely see the Milky Way as a two-armed barred spiral similar to this artist's illustration. Previous investigations have identified a smaller central barred structure and four spiral arms. Astronomers still place the Sun about a third of the way in from the Milky Way's outer edge, in a minor arm called the Orion Spur.
