knowing yourself is a challenge

Our sun is among these arms.

The most important thing we can do, must do if we desire survival rather than apparent oblivion, is to know what we believe and have faith in. I strongly suspect we should do this before we carry over into the future, beyond the failure of these cocoons we call our bodies, as they complete their course and pass away. Suspected reason is, we become what we believe really believe in, trust in and rely on, deep down inside the secret places of our spirit we cannot lie to ourselves about. I believe that I will be what I feed my spirit, even as I fed my body. This is my view even as time fools us all.

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.
