Description
This is a Map I made of the firefly universe. In the tv show they refer to their space ship as a "boat" sometimes. So I thought it would be neat to make a sea chart style map of the Verse solar system.Who knows, they may actually have charts like this, it is a fantasy world after all.
The information to make this map accurate was found [link] which is the official map. The official map has the whole solar system with all 4 stars circling the center, my chart is just of the middle 3 stars. You can get more information and even can buy a poster of the firefly verse here: [link]
Tools: Parchment Paper, Pencil and Pastel (to color the stars in style)

Miranda is the furthest planet out, so it circles one of the 2 furthest stars that are not on this map. This map is only the middle of the whole. The links I included in the beginning should hold more information about the verse for you.

this a wonderful wonderful work
but i most say i think you can do better
i mean that in a postive way
and in no matter negative
their are some tutorails on here for making old maps and pirate maps in photoshop
perhaps that can be a tool that you can use for any further work you would what to do with that map
sincerly ken

Nice work, I like the idea of an old 'sea map' to navigate the stars

Thanks, there has been good reactions to this peace. I wonder if I should do a sea chart of our own solar system, or include other real nearby stars. I've always been interested in what the nearby stars systems have to offer.

Prehaps you could do both or make a series out of them, that would be cool! Good luck with whatever you chose friend

I set it to a lager size now. You can click download to get it clear in 1280 width. Thanks, I'm glad you like.
