    Distances Between Stars

    2d representations of star maps are always a little... or a lot off. And while it may not be very important in most games, as a GM it always bugs me a little. You can see in the image the map showing the distance of travel to 289 G. Hydrae (HR 4458) from Zeta Reticuli as about 3 parsecs. 453637.jpg However, the more accurate distance is about 13 parsecs 453638.jpg

    However, I found this neat little tool for more accurately showing distances https://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets...onomy%20Widget

    Anyway, I thought maybe this would be useful for some people.

    Very interesting, thanks. It will be useful for sure. The 2D map of the Alien RPG is as bad as their depiction of a black hole in Heart of Darkness (a flat hole in space).
