Gary,

typing text in capital letters means screaming. Please don't ;-)

As to the MilkyWay we are up-to-date with the (serious) scientific literature...

Didn't Celestia 1.4 show the Milky Way with two arms?

Fridger,

Sorry, didn't realize that was screaming. I'll lower my volume from now on—except of course when I do mean to scream at you. Ha!
Thanks.
