How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19686511 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed.

-
A.
Galactic thin disk
The Galactic thin disk is the relatively flat, rotating component of the Milky Way where most of its young to middle-aged stars, gas, and spiral arms are concentrated.
-
B.
Gould Belt
The Gould Belt is a nearby, partial ring of young stars, gas, and star-forming regions tilted to the Milky Way’s plane and encompassing many of the bright constellations visible from Earth.
-
C.
Galactic thick disk
The Galactic thick disk is an older, kinematically hotter, and more metal-poor stellar component of the Milky Way that extends farther above and below the Galactic plane than the thin disk.
-
D.
Milky Way spiral arms
The Milky Way spiral arms are the galaxy’s prominent, curved regions of enhanced star formation and stellar density that wind outward from its central bar.
-
E.
Milky Way
Milky Way is the third studio album by American rapper Bas, showcasing his introspective lyricism and melodic, jazz-influenced production.
- F. None of above. chosen
