Mutter's Spiral was the Time Lord designation for the galaxy in which the Sol system was located. (NA: Human Nature, EDA: Alien Bodies) Humans knew Mutter's Spiral as the Milky Way or as Adric referred to it, Galaxia Kyklos. By the time of Sabalom Glitz it also went by the name of the Stellian Galaxy. (DW: The Mysterious Planet)

Mutter's Spiral was approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. Its nearest significant neighbouring galaxy was the Andromeda Galaxy. It was also surrounded by several nearby minor satellite galaxies, such as Galaxy Seven). (NSA: The Eyeless)
