Summary:
A galactic skeleton of dark interstellar gas tendrils might help map the scaffolding of our galaxy, a new study suggests. Six of these bones, each 40 to 150 light-years long and less than a light-year wide, appear to lie along nearby spiral arms of gas and stars that wind around the Milky Way. The bones thinness potentially provides a precise tool for tracing the larger framework of our galaxy, a fiendishly difficult task for astronomers trapped in the Milky Way.
