We are in it, at the edge, so any face on views where you can see the spiral are artists' impressions, but you can see it side on, more so in the southern hemisphere without light pollution, as a line of stars across the sky.
We're about two thirds the way out on one of the arms. We aren't at the edge.
Ok fine, not quite at the edge, but towards the edge. We're not at the centre, for sure.
