Scutum, not Scrotum. A scutum is a Roman shield, and the arm is named for the constellation of Scutum in that area.

I HATE maps like that! Where's the "YOU ARE HERE" point? Where's the "Gap?" Where's the food court?

It’s there. We are at 6 o’clock, halfway between the center and the edge, in the Orion spur.
To: LibWhacker
Sure, great. Show the aliens where we are. Some people...

What is the “Scrotum Centauraus Arm?”It means that this particular arm of our galaxy is hung like a horse.

Where's the food court?...
Ahemm....WE ARE THE FOOD COURT!....To Serve Man, A cookbook.....(the old) Outer Limits.
