	Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roughly 10,000 light years in diameter, it is currently about 70,000 light years from Earth and travelling in a polar orbit at a distance of about 50,000 light years from the core of the Milky Way (about a third the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud).
		Not to be confused with the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy (Sag DIG).
		Although it is one of the closest companion galaxies to the Milky Way, it is on the opposite side of the galactic core from Earth, and consequently is very faint, although it covers a large area of the sky.

	Milky Way Spiral Structure
		The arms of the Milky Way, at least near the solar neighborhood in our Galaxy, are typically named for the constellations where (in the direction of which) more substantial parts of them are situated.
		The next inner arm, sometimes labelled "-I", is called the Sagittarius or Sagittarius-Carina Arm, the next outer arm, labelled "+I", is the Perseus Arm.
		These arms can be traced by deepsky objects, namely diffuse nebulae, open star clusters and associatons, (type II and Ib/Ic) supernova remnants, and main sequence stars of so-called "early" (hot) spectral types.

		The Sagittarius arm is also densely populated with stars.
		Approximately 4 5 million years ago it left the Sagittarius arm and today it is situated in the Orion arm and in approximately 3 5 million years it will enter the arm.

		A suspected arm beyond the Sagittarius arm is the Centaurus (-2), or Norma-Centaurus arm.
		Spiral arms may be persistent concentrations of material, with individual stars entering an arm, passing through, and finally emerging on the other side.
		Because interstellar gas and dust overtake the arm and enter it on the inner edge of the spiral pattern, this theory also explains concentrations of star formation along the inner edges of arms.

		The general direction of the sun's galactic motion is towards the star Vega near the constellation of Hercules, at an angle of roughly 86 degrees to the direction of the galactic center.
		The sun's orbit around the galaxy is expected to be roughly elliptical with the addition of perturbations due to the galactic spiral arms and non-uniform mass distributions.

		Within these arms are many ordinary, intermediate-age disk stars, such as the Sun, together with the more showy Population I objects, in the form of young, hot stars, stellar associations, open clusters, diffuse nebulae, and the bulk of the interstellar matter from which future stars will form.
		The galactic bulge and the much larger galactic halo contain Population II objects – mostly old stars and roughly 200 globular clusters, of which about 150 are known.
		Lying dead center in the Galaxy is the Sagittarius A Complex, which is believed to be associated with a fl hole, material in orbit around this object, and a nearby supernova remnant.

		Sagittarius lies between Earth and the nucleus of the Milky Way Galaxy, it is within the Sagittarius Spiral Arm which is the arm next inward from the Orion Spiral Arm in which Earth resides.
		As a result, the Globular and Open Star Clusters and nebulous Clouds of gas and dust that dominate the nucleus and spiral arms of the galaxy are abundant.
		Sagittarius was considered by the Greeks to be the "Archer," but it looks suspiciously like a tea kettle to me. The steam from the western spout is made up of the nebulae M-8, and M-20, and the Open star Clusters M-21 and M-23.

		In Sagittarius the collective fear that is aggravated is the fear of losing one's cherished beliefs, and of being confronted with the new and the unknown.
		While Pluto is in Sagittarius these particular fears become exacerbated, and this condition is the underlying cause for the development of fanaticism and the rise of fundamentalist groups today.
		It is being concentrated at the present time by Pluto in the Sagittarius arm squaring the Virgo-Pisces axis of the cross.

		Two other arms often mentioned are: the Norma arm- the name given to Perseus arm and the Cygnus arm when they join near the centre of the galaxy on the same side of the galaxy as our solar system, and the Orion arm on which the Sun is situated.
		The Orion arm is not a full spiral arm it sits between the Sagittarius arm and the Perseus arm on the outer part of the galaxy.
		The Spiral arms are concentrations of dust such as the above shown nebula, many young stars are produced in the nebulae in the spiral arms (Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope).

		Between the Sagittarius arm and the galactic center are the Scutum-Crux arm and the innermost Norma arm.
		The true galactic center harbors an enigmatic object known as Sagittarius A. Sagittarius A has long been known as one of the most powerful radio sources in the sky, second only to the sun.
		Several stars within a few light years of Sagittarius A* show orbital velocities so rapid that the center of the minspiral must be an object of at least 2.6 million solar masses.

		Note also that the Orion Arm is not a major spiral arm, but only an enhancement of stars and gas between the Sagittarius and Perseus arms.
		The reason why the arms of spiral galaxies are so prominant is that the brightest stars are found in the spiral arms.

		Molecular counterparts of five of the classical 21-cm spiral arms have been identified: the Perseus arm, the local arm (including Lindblad's local expanding ring), the Sagittarius arm, the Scutum arm, and the 4-kpc arm.
		The region between the local arm and the Perseus arm is apparently devoid of molecular clouds, and the interarm regions of the inner Galaxy appear largely so.
		CO spiral structure implies that the mean lifetime of molecular clouds cannot be greater than 100 million years, the time required for interstellar matter to cross a spiral arm.

		Most of the light from the stars in the center of the Milky Way will continue to be obscured by interstellar clouds until you pass through yet another Inter Arm Gap some 6,000 light years wide, and arrive at the 'Inner Arm' located about 9,000 light years from the center.
		Passing through this arm you arrive within the inner kiloparsec zone some 3,000 light years in diameter.
		This is the first such nursery you have seen since leaving the 3-kiloparsec arm.
