    Improved solar neighbourhood map. There is now a QR code and URL for data sources, larger star labels and a higher contrast background. The zoomable web version is still at The pdf version should now be printable as an A0 poster:

    Researching a technology where the game board is attached to the bottom of a thin clear plexiglass sheet which is then cut into about 10 puzzle pieces. Should work for mass production and look good but not sure about cost.

    Prototype game board. Currently just on poster paper. Final version will likely be a laser cut puzzle with 9 or 10 pieces so it can fit in a standard sized game box.

    For my game prototypes I uses components from the wonderful , including wooden cubes and blank playing cards.

    While not immediately obvious from the text, there's a lot of behind this impressive piece of work. Also, as pointed out by , 40 "dark" companions! !

    Today on : binary stars from ! Figure 5 is my fav.: (a) The close binary fraction decreases w/ increased primary-star size (lower logg)! This is presumably because closer companions are consumed as the size of the primary gets larger,

    Cutting up stickers for cards and cardboard bits for my photon sailing board game. Friends coming for a first play test this weekend.

    This tweet points out that Betelgeuse should still be visible for several years after it blows.

    An excellent overview of by the observing section leader Rich Roberts, very eloquently discussing the intricate behavior of this star. Enjoy!

    Interesting to see a remote talk with a Dutch astronomer (working in Australia) speaking to a conference in Mumbai. The speaker said that it went very well and that there was a good discussion. Will we see a lot more of these in the future to save on financial and carbon budgets?

    There are 108 cards in the game or the equivalent of two regular card decks (assuming 2 jokers). You'll be able to print 6 A3 pages onto stickers and then put those on the cards. I'm even providing card backs for the print and play version for people who want a full custom deck.

    Here are some game bits from the prototype that allow you or your competitors to enhance your photon sailing ship, launch, fend off, or attack pirate drones, and carry lucrative goods like unobtainium and handwavium in your cargo holds.

    At one star port do you buy goods if they are profitable to resell at the next star, or do you add to your starship? Do you sell off that dust deflector if you don't think you need it anymore? Also there are pirate drones to drop off on the way to cause trouble for other players.

    Unlike Neptun you can buy and sell goods and starship enhancements. So you need to select a route that is not only fast but also maximizes profits. As a result the game has a lot more interesting choices than the first prototype.

    The main difference between this and my previous prototype (besides a much better underlying map based on GaiaDR2) is a Neptun-like sales contract system. You can read about the Neptun game here:

    Have finished the new photon sailing board game prototype. One 84 x 84 cm board, 30 star port cards, 30 sales contracts, 48 event cards, 5 time and velocity tracks and other assorted bits. Trial printing this week before I write up the rules and release to interested testers.

    Both Meissa and zeta Ophiuchi are in my photon sailing board game. I'm working on it again this weekend so I can have something downloadable in a week or two.

    The other day I mentioned my favourite IRAS image, which was the ring around Meissa, an incredible hot O-star. Phil Plait also chose an O-star, zeta Ophiuchi, as his favourite Spitzer image (like IRAS, an infrared telescope). O-stars are amazing rare cosmic infernos.
