Re: Stellar Cartography
wouldn't that be "Star Maps" ? and does that really work? how do you map-- a moving object? and from what perspective? surely as we move out into space we will not keep our star, or maybe even our galaxy as the center point?
one of my favorite t-shirt/posters is the one of the Milky Way galaxy, seen from above, so that you see the spiral shape, with a small arrow, pointing to one of the stars on the out edge -- labeled You are Here!-- it help you change your perspective of your place in the world!

How do they always know where I am? I thought it was bad when I went to Russia and they knew where I was. Now I'm being told that even outside the galaxy there are beings that know where I am. Is there no escape from these fiends?

How 'bout cosmography? And maybe you'd have to travel with a self-adjusting map in constant flux according to the recalculations of the Theory of Relativity. You know...you are here, but not really. And how would a cosmographer map black holes?

Not too much of a problem in most cases, since I'd imagine that all relavant data can be ascerained from a distance. But how would a cosmographer map wormholes?

I have this little list of places where I'd like to see America start a war. Unfortunately, I don't think most of them would be approved of by those poor students ...
