These drawings remind me of what cellular microtubules look like in cross section to some extent- lots of variation depending on particular source organelle or species. Italian glass paperweight inclusions also come to mind. Mark- can you get the program to show only stars in particular distance 'cuts' oriented in different lines of sight (kinda like what they can do with CT or MRI scans)? Or follow most-likely chain paths? Or do we know the distances to enough nearer stars? I would imagine that shared motion would also be a good info source here. I remember reading some months ago about a survey done in this manner which was able to separate out a large group of extragalactic stars that just happened to be 'passing through' the Milky Way- but these were further away.
