Locations in the Inner Sphere and Middle Regions |
The Inner Sphere including Sol; (the direction of galactic north
is towards the top of the image);These maps corresponds to slices of the galactic plane, separated by planes 200 ly apart. The distance of the camera from Sol is 5000 ly. Please note that in these maps, the topmost map is the one closest to galactic South, and the bottommost map is closest to galactic North, as is the convention in the Communion of Worlds and elsewhere.

A series of maps zooming in on the vicinity of Sol in the Orion Arm. The blue-green circles mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 200, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 10,000 lightyears from SolSys.
20,000 ly - the large structure of the arm and the neighboring Perseus arm (left) and Sagittarius arm (right) can be seen. Eta Carina is near the lower middle border.
2000 ly - with stars brighter than absolute magnitude -2
50 ly - The core of the Inner Sphere.
