But as it turns out, they are not perfectly flat.  It has been known for years that the gas in between the stars warps above and below the mid-plane in the outer parts of the Milky Way. My own research this year shows that the layer of stars warps in a similar way. I will recount history of this research, talk about what causes these warps, and end with the newest map of the warped 3D structure of our Galaxy. As a bonus, I will be able to provide the inside story on the discovery of a new section of spiral arms in our Milky Way. It&#8217;s not my discovery, but it&#8217;s a pretty interesting story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like to learn more? Andersen Library can help!
