Where can I find pictures of the Milky Way's spiral arms taken from space?

Question

Space

There are many pictures from the Earth. But none from space. Googling in this direction is very sad. A bunch of the same type of links about the Milky Way with general information is issued.

Answer 1

Do you need the Milky Way? Our galaxy? It seems to me that in order to see its spiral arms, you have to climb quite far into space - at least to another galaxy. No wonder there are no pictures.
Why are photographs of other spiral galaxies not suitable?

Answer 2

Difficult question, for starters, you can look at web cameras from space happy-day.ru/cam/kosmos.html that are on the ISS, maybe there is something there.

Answer 3

We are in the plane of the Galaxy, so it is rather difficult to see the spiral arms. Here it is also worth considering that spiral arms are nothing more than regions of active star formation. Strictly speaking, it is not even known for certain how many arms the Milky Way has, it is assumed from 2 to 6. There is hope that the Gaia mission will clarify this issue, you can already try to see their intermediate results now, if they are in the public domain.

Answer 4

The question is not entirely clear - our entire galaxy (with the exception of globular clusters, which can be neglected) is "spiral arms"

Answer 5

From space you will not see the sleeves, only in a different range.
