Another Dutch tradition is that primary school kids have Wednesday afternoons off. The idea would be horrifying for workaholic North American parents but most parents with young kids have at least one working part time and they often bring their kids to fun sports, music, or theater activities.
Ah, no. Although this is a nice event I think Dutch kids are fairly happy and healthy because they mostly live in clean safe towns and cities and have bicycles they can use on the Netherland's fantastic bicycle route network to visit their friends.

The other two segments are part of the inner ring. All three merge together into a single segment. It's amazingly beautiful. And exactly what I see in the Hi-GAL data for the Milky Way.
I've spent more time staring at NGC 5335 than any other galaxy in the last few weeks and today I finally saw a detail I had missed before: how outer arms merge into its ring.
Do you see the structure on left? It's a spiral sandwich. The middle segment is from the outer galaxy.
My expectation is that the SpaceX stock value will continue to soar during June but then will crash in July, probably burning through billions of small retail investment dollars. Will that be enough to prick the AI bubble? I hope so because it is getting scarily large.
Looks like even the nearby Andromeda galaxy has an inner ring. www.spitzer.caltech.edu/image/sig06-...
However, NGC 5335 has little material between its ring and its bar. That is not the case in Hi-GAL (and other relevant data sets). It seems that the Milky Way has a very busy inner galaxy.
So far the inner ring that seems to appear in the Hi-GAL data most closely resembles the ring in NGC 5335 in my list of inner ring galaxies.
But Hi-GAL is not the only available evidence for the structure of the inner galaxy. There are also ATLASGAL clumps, masers, WISE HII regions and, of course Gaia DR4.
