RASC Hamilton Looking for pictures, and more...

[John Devonshire]

Roger,

If you are light on content, you could include this 3D rendering of the
stars within 14 ly of the Sun (it is slightly outdated as 4 brown dwarf
stars were found after its creation .  The picture appears to be public
domain, as per

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_and_brown_dwarfs#/media/File:Nearby_Stars_(14ly_Radius).svg

The song from The Big Bang Theory that Sheldon sings that accompanies this
is as follows:

*Proxima Centauri's the nearest star.*
*The celestial bodies that follow are:*
*Alpha Centauri A,*
*Toli,*
*Barnard's Star,*
*Wolf 359,*
*Lalande 21185,*
*Sirius A,*
*Sirius B,*
*BL Ceti,*
*UV Ceti,*
*Ross 154,*
*Ross 248,*
*Epsilon Eridani,*
*Lac 9352,*
*Ross 128,*
*EZ Aquarii A,*
*EZ Aquarii B,*
*EZ Aquarii C,*
*Procyon A...*
*Those are the stars that are nearest to me,*
*Tra-la-la and fiddle-dee-dee!*
