The disk and spiral arms are where most of the gas, dust, and young stars are located in the Milky Way. These areas also have higher densities of materials needed for star formation, such as molecular clouds. The bulge and halo are older and have lower densities of gas and dust, making them less favorable for star formation. Globular clusters are also old and have mostly stopped forming stars.
