Scientists used to think the Milky Way had four spiral arms, but recent research shows only two major arms. The cool part though is the sleek new galaxy look we have, and also this handy map that shows you exactly where we are in the galaxy:

There are an estimated 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Recent estimates put the number of galaxies in our universe at around 130 billion. Some astronomers estimate that there are 50,000 billion billion stars in the known universe.
Why am I paying bills? And when are we going to start building comet-ships so we can get the hell out there are start ruining other planets?
