![]() ![]() ![]() That means some regions of the Milky Way’s spiral arms go unobserved. Though young stars can be detected by tracking the bright blue light they emit, observations of this kind can be obscured by thick clouds of dust which present a challenge to even the most advanced telescopes. In other words, identifying an overabundance of young stars implies the location of a spiral arm. As this rotation occurs, it compresses gas and dust to ultimately trigger star births. One traditional way of mapping the Milky Way involves monitoring the concentrations of young stars that are created as the galaxy's very dense spiral arms rotate. The Milky Way galaxy may be a different shape than we thought New Milky Way map reveals the magnificent messiness of our galaxy Gaia spacecraft: Mapping the Milky Way like never before ![]() This hasn't prevented scientists from modeling intricate models of the shape of the Milky Way, but Hawkins wanted to verify the accuracy of those models while simultaneously investigating whether chemical cartography can offer an even better view of the Milky Way's arms in general. "You can look around at the buildings and you can see what street you’re on, but it’s hard to know what the whole city looks like unless you’re in a plane flying above it." "It's like being in a big city," Hawkins explained. We simply can't get far enough to observe our galaxy from an outsider's perspective. We're basically analyzing it from the inside, with Earth sitting in the Orion Arm around two-thirds of the way from the central bulge. The difficulty in assessing the Milky Way's morphology comes from the fact that we live in it. However, the exact shape of this striking structure - down to the number of arms our galaxy has - remains uncertain. Finding where the Milky Way's hot young stars hang outįor at least seven decades, astronomers have understood that our galaxy has spiral arms that extend out from the dense concentration of stars, gas, and dust which lie at its heart, known as the "central bulge." "Those maps are revealing things we thought to be true but still need to check."Ĭhemical cartography isn't really a new process, but only recently did scientists manage to develop telescopes with enough observing power to get significant results using the technique. This is the perfect line to use when you didn’t get that great job interview, or life has dealt you a series of unfortunate lemons, like a bad breakup or a broken colored pencil."Much like the early explorers, who created better and better maps of our world, we are now creating better and better maps of the Milky Way," Hawkins said. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills!”-Napoleon. You know like nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills. You know, the one who always orders a salad.ĩ. Then again it’s a good line to use on that one friend everyone has. She knows drinking whole is like sucking directly on a cow’s udder, but judging from Napoleon’s expertise in milk tasting, he probably doesn’t mind. She’s just trying to enjoy her bland ass sandwich and drink some 1% milk. You could totally be drinking whole if you wanted to.”-Napoleon to Deb. Is that ’cause you think you’re fat? ‘Cause you’re not. Napoleon: “A freaking’ 12- gauge, what do you think?!”Īny of Napoleon’s lines are appropriate to use when trying to make your weekend, summer vacation or life in general sound more interesting than it actually is.Ĩ. Napoleon: “Yes, like 50 of ’em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation Napoleon: “I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!” I mean, as a host, it’s the polite thing to do.ĭon: “Hey Napoleon. To this day, if I’m making dinner for someone, I will announce that it’s ready by calling them the name of a llama, shoving a spoonful of my cooking in their face and yelling at them to eat their food. Tina! Eat the FOOD!”-Napoleon (Jon Heder) Bust out a line from “Napoleon Dynamite” in an awkward or funny moment, there’s a good chance someone knows exactly what you’re talking about…and knows the next line after it.ġ. In honor of tomorrow’s ten year anniversary of “Napoleon Dynamite,” we’ve compiled a list of our most favorite lines from the film that we still use to this day, whether or not the situation is appropriate. The hilarious story of an awkward high schooler, created by screenwriters Jared and Jerusha Hess and brilliantly embodied by then unknown actor Jon Heder, turned out to be the sleeper hit of the summer of 2004. Ten years ago, a little indie comedy shot in Idaho burst into the mainstream and made Napoleon Dynamite a household name. ![]()
