The trouble with this Caltech formatting of galaxies is that it is too
deceiving of reality. Imagine for
a moment if someone in London drew a map of the continents putting
London as the center
of a sphere. Imagine if you can how the continents would be all
distorted out of shape in
order to accommodate London as the center of the globe. It makes it
dizzy just thinking
about the distortions.
Well in astronomy the distortions of reality of galaxies and voids is
made with these sort
of pictures :

So I was looking for an old atlas of the galaxies where it gave a long
cross-section view.
It started with the Sloan Great Wall to the left and then came the
Great Wall and it
moved outward to the right till it came to the Milky Way Galaxy and
moved a little
further to the right. This sort of mapping is far better than the
Caltech way of mapping
for it breeds more distortions of reality than it answers questions.
The best way to see Earth and the continents is a actual round globe
with the continents
pictured.
The best way to view the Galaxies is when they use only distance
measure and start at the
leftside with some superstructure and move rightwards filling in what
appears in Space at the
distances.
This mapping of Caltech's spherical mapps with the Milky Way at the
center helps to
obfuscate reality rather than make things clear. I think they do it
because it is the least amount
of work to them to portray the galaxies in this obfuscating manner.
I wish I could find that old website that portrayed the galaxies by a
distance parameter and
where they did not put Milky Way at some center of the mapping.
