A spiral arm of our own Milky Way Galaxy. The Perseus
Arm spirals out from the central regions of the Galaxy, but becomes rather denser and more
clearly defined as it approaches the Galaxy's edge. At its farthest from the
Galactic Nucleus, the Perseus Arm runs parallel to our own
Orion Arm, and comes within less than 10,000
light years of the Sun.
