Continue doing this until you have all the beads you need for your pattern. This will be the ladder stich creating the foundation row for the brick stitch. Pick up one bead then pass the needle under the thread between the first two beads on the foundation row. Pull the thread and bring the bead up into place.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a large disk-shaped barred-spiral galaxy about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter and a kiloparsec thick. It contains about two hundred billion (2Ã1011) stars and has a total mass of about six hundred billion (6Ã1011) times the mass of the Sun.
Because we dwell within the Milky Way Galaxy, it is impossible for us to take a picture of its spiral structure from the outside. But we do know that our Milky Way has a spiral nature from observations made from within our Galaxy (though whether or not it is a barred spiral is still being debated). To represent this, the beautiful spiral galaxy Messier 74 was used, as it thought to be a similar galaxy to ours. Below is a picture of the real Milky Way taken by the satellite COBE. The disk and center region of our Galaxy are readily recognizable.
