What types of objects allow us to map the spiral arms of the galaxy?
Boy.... I'm not sure of any of these - I was going to say the hydrogen gas clouds, because radio mapping can read them in the 21-centimeter range...





Neutron stars, on the other hand, also emit regular pulsed singals, but... I would think they're too few %26amp; far between to see the structure of the arms... I think E - None are correct.
