I am currently working on my next campaign but I am having a bit of trouble trying to find a pretty accurate star map of our galaxy that shows Earth's location in relation to the other stars. If anyone can help in this I would highly appreciate it.

 

Specifically a map that shows the locations of Beta Canum Venaticorum, HD 10307, HD 211415, 18 Scorpii, 51 Pegasus, Epsilon Indi A, Epsilon Eridani, Omicron 2 Eridani, Alpha Centauri B, and Tau Ceti as well as the relative distance from Earth and each other.

What? No one can help me find a star map?

Here is a list of stars, by abstruce name.

 

Also try Googling results.

 

Pretty picture: No names

 

Galactic Navigation ... Galactic Latitude and Galactic longitude ... and

 

this might help (check out the yellow dots: they are individual stars).

No love for the geek. Info doesn't make right.

I'm sure Hades will show his appreciation when he comes back online

Hades doesn't appreciate anything but Troika.

He'll say it sucks, not good enough.

Don't forget the old standby:

 

I paid too much, oh and I found it in the bargain bin

That's what you said last night

Classic!

Okay, okay. Thanks for the links. I didgive Google and Yahoo a try first but I wasn't finding anything particular that I needed though I did find some cool pics of nebulas and articles on astronomy. Also a thing called Drake's Law. Very cool stuff.

NASA.gov have good stuff.

 

I found a great site, about a decade ago, which had PROOF of Gumby's image on Venus (using the data from the Venus RADAR-mapping satellite).

I tried to do a similar thing, but then I just drew my own map and put stuff where I wanted it because what kind of players are going to be all "omg zeta reticuli is .4 light years too close to sol! stop stop stop!!!"

 

 

also metadigital your sig is disgusting......

Well, my group might. My group is full of college educated peeps.

 

I have 2 graphic designers, a geneticist, agricultural engineer, psychology major (still in school), and well... my roommate. At one time I also had an astrophysicist, and a mathematician studying chaos theory.

Are they astronomers too?

And all of these exist in the same place at the same time... in Iowa?

That can't be Iowa, there's too many smart people listed.

It is Ames, Iowa. Majority of us are Iowa State University students/graduates. We have nuclear testing labs (or we did), it is the birth place of the digital computer, a key research facility for the CDC, and where the major research for alternative fuels is being conducted.

 

Iowa might be a hick state but Ames is not a hick town.
