Along with a new version of my extensive and detailed table of the positions of the real stars mentioned in Star Trek, I've also created a three-dimensional view in VRML 1.0 of the stars for the first time, based on the relative x, y coordinates of the stars (calculated with the galactic longitude and the plane distance) and their z-coordinates (calculated by the galactic latitude and the real distance). It's pretty impressive, because you can now virtually go where no one has gone before ... I have tested it with the good ol' Netscape 3.0 Live 3D plugin. Please tell me if you have (no) problems in viewing, especially with VRML 2.0 viewers.

You might want to change your sig, Chris. HTML doesn't work there. Have to use UBB code.
------------------ New sig coming soon!

Well, I've got some "Cosmo Player 2.0" that I downloaded a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and it viewed fine.
