v 7.1

I made several adjustments to the texture to fix some inaccuracies. Huge thanks to LBV 2012-26 for guiding me through the process. Some of the most notable changes you may first notice are:

-Thinner and sparser spiral arms, especially for the least prominent ones (like the Orion spur, the Norma arm, and the Carina-Sagittarius arm).

-Fixed position of the Orion spur and neighbor arms. I based their placement on the location of several known objects in the galaxy. My main reference for this was this map made by Pablo Carlos Budassi: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Milky_way_map.png

-Slight rotation change on the galactic bar and more prominent 3kpc arms.

-General improvements on texture quality.

In a future version, I might try to add the twist present in the galactic plane, but until then, I have to find a workaround for this without changing procedural generation.

v 7.0

In addition to updating to the latest public version of SE (0.990.48.2055), a full redo of the texture was made, focusing on fixing the wrong placement of the arms in relation to the Solar System (Thanks to LBV 2012-26 for pointing that out). This iteration is primarily based on the artistic impression of Stefan Payne-Wardenaar, which uses data from GAIA's telescope.
