New Milky Way - Version 2 (2008)
 
 
Another impression of our own spiral galaxy, the Milky Way, showing how it might look seen face on. I based the image closely on known astronomical data, so the shape and position of the spiral arms are as correct as I can make them. Roll over the image to see an annotated version, in which the position of the Solar System is indicated by a yellow dot. See also New Milky Way.
