银河系的螺旋臂图,箭头所指为太阳轨道的方向。


天鹅臂 (也有人称之为外臂矩尺臂天鹅-矩尺臂)是从银河中心延伸至外并且环绕着中心的四条主要螺旋臂之一。天鹅臂由半径15.5± 2.8Kpc向外延伸至英仙臂之外。他的名称来自于由地球观察是穿越过天鹅座的缘故。

由于局部地区的重力变化,在不同的地区各自形成了不同形状的螺旋臂,有些地区可以发现大量的恒星聚集。

'矩尺臂'则是天鹅臂靠近银河中心的那一部分。

银河系太阳所在的星系,在宇宙中有许多与他相似或相同类型的星系存在着。这些星系都拥有为数众多的恒星,并且在重力的作用下形成相对是扁平的盘面。这个盘面不停的旋转者,并且在中心聚集著比外缘更多的恒星,以更高的速度在移动。这样的结果导致从星系之外的上方或下方观察,会看见恒星形成螺旋臂的形式。
