Unique Structure Found in a Galactic Arm of the Milky Way

Summary The common perception of a spiral galaxy consists of two or more neatly defined spiral arms around a bright nucleus. But the arms are not always well defined. Flocculant spiral galaxies can be so clumpy that it is hard to distinguish the arms. A recent analysis has found some feathering in the Milky Way's Sagittarius Carina spiral arm suggesting the Milky Way may have some flocculation.
