Cancer Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Re: Google Map of Our Local Cluster of Stars Cool, though I wonder what made them choose star colors. AFAICT, they are random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Re: Google Map of Our Local Cluster of Stars You can't zoom in on other stars. I know we don't have detailed knowledge of most other systems, but it would be nice if the know exoplanets were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Re: Google Map of Our Local Cluster of Stars I was able to zoom in on named stars by clicking upon their names. Pulls up the wikipedia info on them too, including some exoplanet info. Excellent time waster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
