[Lord_Iggy]

You've put them on average 15 kilometers apart, give or take around 1.

Alright, I'm just copying down the coordinates for the Upper Yukon River. There's a bit of confusion in how exactly I should start it, since the headwaters are... confusing, and all navigable.

I charted the route through Marsh Lake, Tagish Lake, Nares Lake and Bennett Lake, up to Lindeman City. An alternate route would be through Marsh Lake, Tagish Lake, Taku Arm, Graham Inlet, Atlin Lake, Little Atlin Lake, to the furthest navigable headwaters of the river system, but I chose the former because it demonstrates just how close the Yukon River begins, with regards to the Pacific Ocean, and because it formed an important trade route between the interior and the coast, and because it was the route followed by the stampeders during the Gold Rush of 1898.

[Dachs]

The provinces (I assume you've got the periphereies on the map there) of Greece aren't correct. Even if you're only indicating the Regions (which are outdated anyway) you're missing Attika and the various Aegean islands are incorrectly divided.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I'm thinking of getting co-ordinates for the Fraser River- would that be of use, fc?

 

[Dachs]

Also I ed at the way fc did the Caspian Sea and the Great Lakes and other such large inland bodies of water

 

[North King]

I'm fairly sure that those aren't his borders.

Also, it makes sense in the case of the Great Lakes, at least, where there are some pretty important islands lying around.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I managed to find the exact furthest headwaters of the Fraser at 52.519240,-118.334933° (thank you, latest update of Google Earth!), but I decided to start it from Moose Lake, the first and only lake on the river. I assume that this is the standard practice, since beyond Moose Lake the Fraser's barely a stream.

[North King]

If I get you a bunch of rivers' coordinates, will you project them onto the Winkel-Tripel map?

 

[North King]

I was thinking the Jordan, the Sutlej, the Chenab, the Yamana, and possibly the Tennessee.

 

[Dachs]

possibly the Tennessee.

This would help immeasurably

 

[Dragonson]

Hey again. =)
I need a galaxy map for my upcoming NES DragoNES: Secrets of the Darkspace.
The galaxy i'm talking about is called the Black Nebula, and it looks like a normal galaxy exept for this:
The core of the galaxy is black. The galaxy "arms" are all white, and then they get more and more dark the closer they get to the middle, until they in the middle are all black.
Can anyone make this? =(

Um, black? Do you mean a lack of stars? The only type of galaxy that could come close to satisfying such a criteria would be a ring galaxy, and even then there is a bright galactic centre to deal with. What you're description just does not happen in the Universe.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

How big would you want such a galaxy to be Dragonson?

 

[Dragonson]

@Supermath
No, but i mean black suns.

@Lord_iggy
Well... small enough to be in one picture. =P

 

[North King]

@Supermath
No, but i mean black suns.

Outside of a certain Xizor's organization, these do not exist...

Except perhaps for a "black dwarf", but if your galaxy is old enough to have only these things in the center, there wouldn't be much left on the rims...

 

[Dragonson]

They exist in my world =( And we could just say that they are really darkblue...

 

[North King]

They're stars... they don't go "dark". Not to say that you can't have it like that: it's your world, but I am saying you can't have it like that and be scientifically accurate.

NK has no suspension of belief

Its for a FantasySci-Fi NES, so wth =P
