There are 32 stars in this region, including the Sun. The stars are colored according to the spectral type, which may not reflect the actual color. Please see this <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearby_stars">Wikipedia article</A> for the listing of stars. The stars on this map may not all be visible to the naked eye, as many are dwarf stars. Some of this information may be preliminary and not entirely accurate as a result. Each grid square represents 1 square <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-year">light year</A>. The grid is aligned to the <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic">ecliptic</A>. Planets are not shown on this map because they orbit stars at a relatively small distance. They would be indistinguishable at this scale. Unless noted otherwise all star data is ment relative to the Sun ("Mass: 1.25" means 125% of the Sun's mass).</DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/30/your-interactive-stellar-neighborhood/" href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/30/your-interactive-stellar-neighborhood/" style="font-size: 11px;">blogs.discovermagazine.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/30/your-interactive-stellar-neighborhood/">game designer Krystian Majewski <A target="_blank" href="http://kisd.de/~krystian/starmap/">put together a very cool Flash interactive map of the 32 nearest known stars</A>.
