The Galaxy No Longer a Four-Armed Freak

For years, models of the Milky Way Galaxy (that's ours) have had four "arms" spiraling out from its center.

Now, scientists claim the galaxy only has two, which is, you know, normal by human standards, unless you're a Vedic deity like Durga or Shiva. Further, the arm that our own solar system was thought to be near, the Sagittarius Arm, was one of the nixed arms, making our little niche in the universe even more remote than we thought.

Conclusions? We Earthlings are even more rural than we thought, galactically-speaking, and the Heavens are now more anthropomorphic than ever.
