Absicon Universe: Starmap


Click on the image to see a larger version.

This is a starmap I created to aid in my writing of Echoes Of Absicon. It is pretty self explanitory, athough it may not make too much sense without reading the story.

All of the Star systems are real. The names are those of the Stars themselves as they exist now, in real life. The map is not to scale, but I have done my best to position them in the general place they lay in comparison to Sol, Earth's system. To give you an idea of distances, the system of Tau Ceti is roughly ten light years away from Sol.

I created this map by studying a starmap created by an astronomer whose website I cannot remember.

The one exception to the attempt at realism it the most distant system. This is meant to be a hundred light years or so from Sol, and is not a real star.

Enjoy!
