Pluto's gone, now for the Milky Way!

Seems an astronomer is calling for a couple of the spiral arms of the Milky Way to be demoted, much the same as has been done with poor Pluto.

This is as a result of a scan by the Spitzer space telescope.
There's an article about a 5 gigapixel image taken by Spitzer - don;t get too excited though, it's infra red
