Milky Way galaxy. Animation showing a flight towards our Milky Way galaxy, revealing its barred spiral structure. Towards the end of the animation, the location of our Sun is marked by a yellow circle, and the Local Arm of the spiral is marked with a yellow line. The Local Arm, also known as the Orion Arm, lies between the Sagittarius Arm towards the centre and the Perseus Arm further out. The Milky Way Galaxy is thought to be around 100, 000 light years wide, and to contain as many as 400 billion stars. | |
