Auriga in 3D
The image painted on the base grid is the relevant 2,549 ly x 2,549 ly section of the NASA/JPL-Caltech Milky Way map. The white arc in the image is a portion of the smallest circle centered around the Sun in the NASA/JPL-Caltech Milky Way map, a circle with a radius of 750 light years. The base grid parallels the galactic plane, and lies 47.9 light years below the actual galactic plane. ε Aurigae is far more distant than the other bright stars of Auriga; see below for a view of Auriga without ε Aurigae.
