A new infrared survey of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has redefined its layout. Instead of the four main arms (Perseus Arm, Cygnus Arm, Scutum-Crux Arm (Get your mind out of the gutter), and the Carina and Sagittarius Arm), scientists now propose that there are actually only two main arms, with multiple smaller arms or 'spurs'. Our Sun and its solar system lie in the Orion Spur.
