The Milky Way has several identified arms. We live in the outskirts of one of the minor arms in a relatively dust-free hole 500 lightyears across. The arm may be seen by looking in the direction of Sagittarius on any clear, dark night--if there are any such nights anymore. The Milky Way does not appear to be a barred spiral.

The Milky Way would be similar in appearance to Andromeda, or, M88..
