Just found the one linked, I like it but I can’t find the high resolution version, so I was curious to see where people get theirs.
I know that one. It’s the nearest pulsars to earth.
Wait how is this a pulsar?
It’s a map.
Does anyone know how to read this map?
I assume the center where all lines intersect is the earth, the dot-dash patterns are each pulsars particular signature patterns, and the length of the lines is the relative distance from earth perhaps in Astronomical Units
Had to look up exactly what a pulsar is and the concept of them being like interstellar lighthouses is absolutely fascinating.
