Err... yeah, well I suppose you can talk about other stuff as well, maybe?

Relative size of stars and some planets. "Keep scrolling", indeed.
Don't mind the fugly oversized thumbnail, just click it.

very cool .
I have found the site i used years ago to build a 3d interactive view of the gliese star catalog :
"Hard" SF writers and interstellar game designers need reasonably accurate 3-D starmaps in order to set the stage. This webpage is a feeble attempt to assist those who lack the knowledge (or inclination) to do the work themselves. You don't have any excuse now, I've done most of the work for you! If nothing else, grab the maps!
So his site is very cool too , with a lot of info and scifi links : http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/starmaps/

And the database i used was : http://astronexus.com/node/34

I think i will do it again for my tests with ogre3d this time .
The kind of info you bring is useful dear TBeholder .

                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }
