Identifying structures in the Gaia mission hot star density data is fun but usually controversial. Here's a map I put up on the weekend. #Astrodon #astronomy #gaiamission

Even more controversial has been attempts to combine these regions into spiral arms!

The unlabeled region between Sagittarius, Cygnus-Vela, Centaurus, Norma and Carina appears to be a sort of cosmic roundabout. It is often interpreted as joining Sagittarius and Carina but personally I'm not so sure it is that simple.
I'm hoping that Gaia DR4 might give us a clearer view of this region.
A 饝惔饝惗饝悷饝惗 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
