"Tube Map" Created For the Milky Way

astroengine writes "Assuming you had an interstellar spaceship, how would you navigate around the galaxy? For starters, you'd probably need a map. But there's billions of stars out there — how complex would that map need to be? Actually, Samuel Arbesman, a research fellow from Harvard, has come up with a fun solution. He created the 'Milky Way Transit Authority (MWTA),' a simple transit system in the style of the iconic London Underground 'Tube Map.' (Travel Tip: Don't spend too much time loitering around the station at Carina, there's some demolition work underway.)"

You are right. Slashdot's gross and criminally negligient failure to add an Ubuntu icon to a story has made me lose all faith in Open Source, Free Software and IT in general. I will now relocate to a lonely pasture in the mountains of Albania where I will stand watch over a gerd of goats until I die of starvation, resting well in the knowledge that never again will someone submit my fragile psyche to the horror of not seeing the Ubuntu logo when reading a story about Ubuntu.
