15:3.1 Practically all of the starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia belong to the seventh section of the [[grand universe]], the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]]. The vast [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way Milky Way] starry [[system]] represents the central [[nucleus]] of Orvonton, being largely beyond the borders of your local universe. This great aggregation of [[suns]], dark islands of space, [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Star double stars], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globular_Clusters globular clusters], star clouds, [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_galaxy spiral] and other [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulae nebulae], together with myriads of individual [[planets]], forms a watchlike, elongated-circular grouping of about one seventh of the inhabited evolutionary universes.
15:3.2 From the [[Celestial coordinate system|astronomical position]] of [[Urantia]], as you look through the cross section of near-by systems to the great [[Milky Way]], you observe that the [[spheres]] of [[Orvonton]] are traveling in a vast elongated [[plane]], the breadth being far greater than the thickness and the length far greater than the breadth.
15:3.3 [[Observation]] of the so-called Milky Way discloses the comparative increase in Orvonton [[stellar]] [[density]] when the heavens are viewed in one direction, while on either side the density diminishes; the number of stars and other spheres decreases away from the chief plane of our material superuniverse. When the [[angle]] of observation is propitious, gazing through the main [[body]] of this realm of maximum density, you are looking toward the [[Havona|residential universe]] and the [[center]] of [[all things]].
15:3.4 Of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, [[Large Scale Structure of the cosmos|eight have been roughly identified]] [http://www.astro.uu.nl/~strous/AA/en/boom/supercluster.html] by Urantian astronomers. The other two are difficult of separate recognition because you are obliged to view these [[phenomena]] from the inside. If you could look upon the superuniverse of Orvonton from a position far-distant in space, you would [[immediately]] recognize the ten major sectors of the seventh galaxy.
15:3.5 The rotational center of your minor sector is situated far away in the enormous and dense star cloud of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius], around which your [[local universe]] and its associated creations all move, and from opposite sides of the vast Sagittarius subgalactic system you may observe two great streams of star clouds emerging in stupendous stellar coils.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_nebula (?)]
15:3.6 The [[nucleus]] of the physical system to which your sun and its associated planets belong is the center of the onetime [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover] [[nebula]]. This former [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_galaxy spiral nebula] was slightly distorted by the [[gravity]] disruptions associated with the [[events]] which were attendant upon the [[birth]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:5._ORIGIN_OF_MONMATIA.E2.80.94THE_URANTIA_SOLAR_SYSTEM your solar system], and which were occasioned by the near approach of a large neighboring nebula. This near collision changed Andronover into a somewhat globular aggregation but did not wholly destroy the two-way [[procession]] of the suns and their associated [[physical]] [[groups]]. Your solar system now occupies a fairly central position in one of the arms of this distorted spiral, situated about halfway from the center out towards the edge of the star stream.
15:3.7 The [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius] sector and all other sectors and divisions of [[Orvonton]] are in rotation around [[Uversa]], and some of the [[confusion]] of Urantian [[Astronomy|star observers]] arises out of the [[illusions]] and [[relative]] distortions produced by the following multiple [[revolutionary]] [[Motion|movements]]:
*1. The revolution of Urantia around its sun.
*2. The [[circuit]] of your [[solar system]] about the [[nucleus]] of the former [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover nebula].
*3. The rotation of the Andronover stellar family and the associated clusters about the composite rotation-[[gravity]] [[center]] of the star cloud of [[Nebadon]].
*4. The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius] [[center]] of their minor sector.
*5. The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius], about their major sector.
*6. The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called [http://www.astronomy.net/articles/16/ star drifts], about the [[Uversa]] headquarters of [[Orvonton]].
*7. The [[Motion|movement]] of Orvonton and six associated superuniverses around [[Paradise]] and [[Havona]], the counterclockwise [[processional]] of the superuniverse space level.
15:3.8 These multiple motions are of several orders: The space paths of your [[planet]] and your[[ solar system]] are [[genetic]], [[inherent]] in [[origin]]. The [[absolute]] counterclockwise motion of Orvonton is also genetic, [[inherent]] in the [[architectural]] plans of the [[master universe]]. But the intervening motions are of composite origin, being derived in part from the constitutive segmentation of [[matter]]-[[energy]] into the superuniverses and in part produced by the [[intelligent]] and purposeful [[action]] of the [[Paradise]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:5._THE_MASTER_FORCE_ORGANIZERS force organizers].
15:3.9 The [[local universe]]s are in closer proximity as they approach [[Havona]]; the [[circuits]] are greater in [[number]], and there is increased [[superimposition]], layer upon layer. But farther out from the eternal center there are fewer and fewer systems, layers, [[circuits]], and [[universes]].

15:3.1 Practically all of the starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia belong to the seventh section of the [[grand universe]], the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]]. The vast [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way Milky Way] starry [[system]] represents the central [[nucleus]] of Orvonton, being largely beyond the borders of your local universe. This great aggregation of [[suns]], dark islands of space, [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Star double stars], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globular_Clusters globular clusters], star clouds, [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_galaxy spiral] and other [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulae nebulae], together with myriads of individual [[planets]], forms a watchlike, elongated-circular grouping of about one seventh of the inhabited evolutionary universes.

15:3.3 [[Observation]] of the so-called Milky Way discloses the comparative increase in Orvonton [[stellar]] [[density]] when the heavens are viewed in one direction, while on either side the density diminishes; the number of stars and other spheres decreases away from the chief plane of our material superuniverse. When the [[angle]] of observation is propitious, gazing through the main [[body]] of this realm of maximum density, you are looking toward the [[Havona|residential universe]] and the [[center]] of [[all things]].
15:3.4 Of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, [[Large Scale Structure of the cosmos|eight have been roughly identified]] [http://www.astro.uu.nl/~strous/AA/en/boom/supercluster.html] by Urantian astronomers.

Your solar system now occupies a fairly central position in one of the arms of this distorted spiral, situated about halfway from the center out towards the edge of the star stream.
15:3.7 The [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius] sector and all other sectors and divisions of [[Orvonton]] are in rotation around [[Uversa]], and some of the [[confusion]] of Urantian [[Astronomy|star observers]] arises out of the [[illusions]] and [[relative]] distortions produced by the following multiple [[revolutionary]] [[Motion|movements]]:

*4. The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius] [[center]] of their minor sector.
*5. The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation) Sagittarius], about their major sector.
*6. The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called [http://www.astronomy.net/articles/16/ star drifts], about the [[Uversa]] headquarters of [[Orvonton]].
*7. The [[Motion|movement]] of Orvonton and six associated superuniverses around [[Paradise]] and [[Havona]], the counterclockwise [[processional]] of the superuniverse space level.
15:3.8 These multiple motions are of several orders: The space paths of your [[planet]] and your[[ solar system]] are [[genetic]], [[inherent]] in [[origin]]. The [[absolute]] counterclockwise motion of Orvonton is also genetic, [[inherent]] in the [[architectural]] plans of the [[master universe]].

But farther out from the eternal center there are fewer and fewer systems, layers, [[circuits]], and [[universes]].
