The '''Orion Arm''' is a spiral escalation of a minor spiral arm in the [[Milky Way]] galaxy; it is located near the galactic core and is part of the Sagittarius Arm (a major arm). The [[Solar System]] and [[Earth]] are within and amid the Orion Arm. It is also referred to as the Local Arm, Local Spur, or the Orion Spur. It is named "Orion" due to its proximity to the Orion Constellation.<ref>http//:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Arm</ref>
