star maps

Post by dr-spangle »

they are getting ever so much closer to reality, i was stuck on how to make them seem random but still a bit logical, and my puppy gave me the idea, sadly i had to clean a lot of polystyrene beads from the floor...


the star maps should be done asap :D

Micras not on a starmap? What's the point? We need a bearing of where we are, I think that's the point of the starmaps in the first place.

you would see the planets move though the sky though so they wouldn't be marked really... and stars come in different sizes and shapes...

and the map should really be Micras map sized that avoids having to have 2 maps for north hemisphere and south hemisphere...

something like this:
www.micromaps.org/temp/starmaptemplate.png

but with stars... and i'm working on it... as well as the maps i make every week, some stuff for CIS a RL essay due in tuesday and an enigma machine. :D

They drew the maps from different point of the galaxy... You drew the template to draw the stars noticeable from Micras...

New planet discovered!
Lelo - On Davis' map its home star is (906,576) - is one of planets that might have water (as a liquid). Spectrometers proved that atmosphere contains oxygen and hydrogen compounds.
