@NigelNahous @JfkWhitlam I wish there were standards but various groups of astronomers don't agree. The best argument I've heard is from Bob Benjamin, who commissioned the famous Robert Hurt image of the Milky Way. He pointed out that starship navigation systems would be based on Sgr A* and ...

Will Gaia DR4 distance and temperature estimates be reliable enough to detect spiral structure and provide the first detailed hints of what the Milky Way really looks like from the outside? MAYBE!
