Young giant stars reveal a flaring Milky Way disc with 3.5 kpc radial scale and extended spiral arms including a curved Perseus segment and a new Scutum-associated feature.
IllustrisTNG simulations indicate galactic disk precession is common, driven by external tidal torques within 30 kpc, inducing warps and influencing evolution at all redshifts.
