[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 56711, member: 4990"] [URL="http://nai.arc.nasa.gov/library/images/news_articles/157_1.jpg"][IMG]http://nai.arc.nasa.gov/library/images/news_articles/157_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] A Spiral Galaxy. The sun keeps out of the way of the galaxies spiral arms which contain disruptive gravitational forces and radiation. According to Gonzalez, over 95 percent of stars in the galaxy wouldn't be able to support habitable planets simply because their rotation is not synchronized with the rotation of the galaxy's spiral arms. Credit: NASA [IMG]http://nai.arc.nasa.gov/library/images/clear_block.gif[/IMG] Staying away from the galactic center has an additional advantage. The center of the Galaxy is awash in harmful radiation. Solar systems near the center would experience increased exposure to gamma rays, X-rays, and cosmic rays, which would destroy any life trying to evolve on a planet. The density of gases and interstellar matter in the spiral arms leads to the formation of new stars. Although these spiral arms are the birthplaces of stars, it would be dangerous for our solar system to cross through one of them. The intense radiation and gravitation of a spiral arm would cause disruptions in our Solar System just as surely as if we were closer to the center of the Galaxy. Luckily, our Sun revolves at the same rate as the Galaxy's spiral-arm rotation. This synchronization prevents our Solar System from crossing a spiral arm too often. "At our location, our orbital period is very similar to that of the pattern speed of the spiral arms," says Gonzalez. "This means that the time interval between spiral arm crossings will be a maximum, which is a good thing, since spiral arms are dangerous places. Massive star supernovae are concentrated there, and giant molecular clouds can perturb the Oort Cloud comets leading to more comets showers in the inner solar system."
