The European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite has released data that makes it possible to compute distances to more than a billion stars. This allows the production of real, detailed and accurate maps of our home galaxy for the first time. Galactic cartographer Kevin Jardine will present in his lecture at FedCon 29 some maps of the solar neighbourhood and the larger galaxy including star density, dust, clusters and more, describe how they were created and discuss their relevance for games and science fiction.
