The Real Stars and Scale of Sci-fi

Some of the franchises mentioned: Star Trek, The Martian, Dune, Bobiverse, Halo, Mass Effect, Firefly, Serenity, Stargate, Guardians of the Galaxy, Known Space, Hyperion, The Expanse, Foundation, and A Fire Upon the Deep. Thanks to @MrHulthen for the Mass Effect music. Check it out and his channel here: CORRECTIONS: There is an error in the depiction of the tilt of the earth: it is tilted away from the galactic core, not towards it. I am publishing a high-resolution standalone video of the galactic scale animation soon. Also, in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it was a fictional Voyager 6 launched in 1999 that then fell into a wormhole. But still unlikely that there's a wormhole hanging out outside the solar system... ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Star Wars 02:25 - Voyager 1 03:15 - Galactic Scale 04:45 - Intergalactic Scale 05:13 - Andromeda 06:10 - Stargate 08:48 - Starship Troopers 09:11 - Foundation 10:17 - A Fire Upon the Deep 10:59 - Star Trek Galaxy 12:21 - 1000 Lightyears 16:29 - 100 Lightyears 26:00 - Firefly/Serenity 29:40 - Dune 31:21 - Known Space 33:16 - Bobiverse 34:09 - Homo Sideria ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ SCIENTIFIC SOURCES The data used for the star positions are the astronexus AT-HYG and HYG 3.5 databases.
