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

The data used for the star positions is the HYG database, specifically the HYG 3.5. https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database.
