Assume the Sun located in the point marked “S” in Fig. 5 and some distance above the plane of the picture, then the nebula if viewed from this point would appear somewhat as the Milky Way appears to us. In the middle we behold the substantial nucleus and on its left side a cleft between the two branches of the inner spiral. Farther to the left, we see only the outer spiral, first broadening toward the left where it approaches “S,” then narrowing only to spread again on account of the great clustering in the lower right part of the spiral. The axis of the nebula corresponds to the densest parts of the Galaxy in Cygnus (the Swan), the loop in the inner spiral again to the empty space between Cepheus and Cassiopeia, the narrow part of the outer spiral branch resembles the constriction at Algenib, the following diffusion corresponds to the broad section in Auriga (Charioteer) and Monoceros (Unicorn). At the subsequent narrow place we see the outer nebula-clump corresponding in certain respects to the Magellanic clouds on our firmament although these are farther removed, and apparently not indigenous to the Milky Way. There follows in the nebula a massive section in our system represented by the well known, far less compact, yet brightly luminous tract containing the Southern Cross. Here, from the star Alpha in Centaurus--the nearest bright fixed star[3] to our Sun, “only” 4.5 light years or about 25 trillion[4] miles distant--commences a bi-section of the spiral and strangely enough the nebula is similarly forked. Now the outer spiral stretching in a faint line upward from the “clump” begins to show as a weak band, while the inner spiral stands forth powerfully above “S” corresponding to the brilliant section of the Galaxy in Scutum (Shield) and Aquila (Eagle). The partition in the nebula between these two branches is the counterpart of the 110° long “prong” in the Milky Way between the constellations Norma and Lyra. Numerous faint bridges join the two branches in the nebula as well as in the Galaxy, according to Wolf.
