Category talk:Green Lantern Sectors

Can somebody explain this concept to me because I still fail to grasp it even after decades of reading comics? Let´s look at that picture (we have to start somewhere): The illustration clearly shows one segmented galaxy, not the whole universe, apparently with Oa situated somewhere near the galactic centre. Then, sectors are wedge-shaped instead of, say, shaped like neighbouring dodekaeders (think dice with twelve sides) which would make more sense for a GL to travel in - imagine a crisis occurring at the other end of the wedge and your poor GL zipping back and forth between disaster areas. Then, somewhere at this site and thematically connected, there is a picture of something called the "Polaris Galaxy". Yet Polaris is elsewhere correctly identified as the North Star with an approx. distance of scant 400 light years from Sol. It is indeed part of a galaxy - ours. This one. The Milky Way (which is English for galaxis, by the way). But this has neverbeen called Polaris Galaxy. Pfui. This holds no water. Apparently, DC has used the terms "solar systems", "galaxies", and even "universes" interchangeably for decades. Or is it just me? --Lucien61 (talk) 06:43, May 6, 2015 (UTC)
