This is a scientifically accurate depiction of where a select few sci-fi star systems are in our galaxy. This has obsession of mine for the past few months to show this visually and really get a feel for where these systems are around the solar system. Also it should be noted, the relative positions of the stars is accurate, but the size of them is not.

Link to the books I mentioned:
Star Trek: Stellar Cartography (Original is out of print) https://amzn.to/468hrEs
Project Hail Mary – https://bit.ly/AndyWeirProjectHailMary
Contact – https://bit.ly/ContactCarlSagan

Shown in the video are are Avatar, Deep Space 9, TNG, Voyager, Event Horizon, Lost in Space, Babylon 5, Project Hail Mary, Contact, Dune, Rocheworld and Alien.

The data used for the star positions is the HYG database, specifically the HYG 3.5.
