Spiral arms are regions of high density and gas where new stars are constantly forming.

The majority of new star formation in the Galaxy occurs in the spiral arms, where gas and dust are compressed as they rotate through density waves. This leads to the formation of large clouds of molecular gas, which can condense and collapse to form new stars.
