I've been playing with the idea of mapping traveller star systems into 3D
space, but I have a few questions about space in general that I have less
than a rudimentary knowledge of:
1> How "thick" is our galaxy? (in parsecs or light years) If I'm mapping it
into 3D, I want to have a general idea of how much vertical space I have
to work with.
2> Lots of SF works speak of nebulas. Where are these things located and how
big are they? I've not seen any descriptions of these in Traveller and it
seemed like a neat thing to include.
Any help?
