Rather than being fiat as a Frisbee. the Milky Way^s star-studded disk is twisted and warped, according to a new three-dimensional map of our home galaxy. If viewed from the side, the spiral arms girdling our galaxy!s bulging core would resemble a record bent into an S shape, or a softly poached egg sliding off a slotted spoon.
“The warp of the galaxy is so pronounced... if we would be able to see our galaxy from the side, we would clearly see it,” says Dorota Skowron of the University of Warsaw, whose team reports the results today in the joumal Science. (Also see these 10 weird things you probably didn’t know about the Milky Way.)
