What’s AUSTIM?
I liked that immensely.
What an incredible video!
Wait, which one of the Dune books says the name of the star that Arrakis orbits?? I’ve only read the first one and I don’t remember that detail at all.
I actually thought the lore of Dune was it was so incredibly far in the future that humanity had drifted far from Earth and didn’t even really care much about it – it’s sort of like how Mesopotamia isn’t very important to most of us today.
That’s pretty cool! Warhammer 40K, where’s Holy Terra…oh.
You should post this to the Star Trek sub if you haven’t
Epsilon Eridani is also the location of Reach.
I feel like I would love if this video was an hour long instead of 6 minutes but great work
I thought this was going to be a video about the [thirty mile zone.](https://youtu.be/yy16KFzM4XU?si=ntjnt1k1FxpZn2JL)
This was great! Thanks
Hey I could watch this for another hour, please do the comprehensive version you allude to so often 😀
Can I ask the data set you use. I am looking at the quadrants from a Star Trek perspective and I feel like there would be a little more talk about the Beta Quadrant and less supremacy of the Alpha Quadrant if the Sol system split the two.
Epsilon Eridani is also where Reach is in the Halo series and is also featured in Project: Hail Mary.
Detla?
How can DS9 be 62 light years away if it’s the other side of the 100,000 ly wide galaxy? Did you mean 62,000 light years?
I think it’s time to map out the entirety of the Stargate SG-1 canon! All you need to do is figure out the gate addresses for each planet, and all the symbols on the gates, and boom, now your Daniel Jackson.
Realistically, I imagine most of the work is already done on fan sites. Just need to map and animate it, which is probably the harder part anyways.
I’ve always wanted to learn to 3d animate so I can make videos like this one.
My only regret is that it is only 6 minutes long, I would watch that for hours long! I love maps too, it surface hidden path and structure and brings everything to a new level of understanding. Thank you for this fascinating video 🙂
Love this video, well presented and narrated, and I loved the galaxy map spinning around to give a sense of scale and position.
But fyi there are a bunch of typos in the annotations. Stuff like “Detla” instead of “Delta” at 0:56, “Harkonen” instead of “Harkonnen” at 5:35, “Bernards Star” instead of “Bernard’s Star”… oh, and the giant “AUTISM” joke at the beginning is spelled “AUSTIM”, lol
Let me know if you want a full list to make corrections from, though I figure since you’ve already released the video you probably don’t care at this point.
That was a great video. I had no idea that ds9 was that close earth.
Also puts into perspective how slow ships go in star trek
THE DETLA QUADRANT!
(Edit: But seriously though, great video. Just the grammar 1940’s German soldier in me breaking through the surface)
Makes me sad it’s all fiction. Always feel like earth is basically a childhood home and we have never opened the door to see the rest the city. We can only look trough the keyhole.
Upon reflection you probably should have mentioned Qronos and Romulus
It looks like it would have been quicker for Voyager to go to that wormhole in the Gamma quadrant than straight back here.
It wasn’t until I started heavily reading Scifi of my own when I realized why so many stories always seem to take place in the same systems- Tau Ceti, Tau Eridini, Alpha Centauri, Epsilon Eridini, etc. When I realized one day that it’s because they happen to be some of our nearest neighbors, I was hit with a wave of.. Some kind of emotion.
I was gonna say you missed The Expanse but that wouldn’t be a very interesting map then would it 😂?
Truly our universe is way bigger than we can imagine it or even think of it in normal imagination.
