Human Destiny Map (version 2.0)

Published:
3.4K Views

Description

Updated and revised version of the reference map for my original fiction project, The Human Destiny. All corrections made to the previous version are included here, and I've changed the "Resource Value" for a few star systems to reflect changes in how I'm working with the data. I've also added a couple of pointers for orientation purposes, one for the center of the galaxy, another for the nearby Hyades open cluster.

The map displays space within 10 parsecs (about 32.6 light-years) of Sol. The placement of stars is based on the HIPPARCOS catalog and is as accurate as current knowledge can make it. Every star we know about of spectral class K and above is marked on the map. I've also marked a number of M-class "red dwarf" stars, either for their resource value or for their strategic location. Most red dwarf stars have not been placed on the map, otherwise it would be so thick with red dots as to be unreadable.

Very large image (over 8000 pixels on a side). For best results, download or zoom in by clicking on the image above twice.

Technical notes: Image was produced entirely in Photoshop, with no external resources. Time involved for this version was probably about 10 hours, spaced over the last few months.
