The one that is suppose to show that Firefly takes place in a cluster of solar systems instead of just a single one?

Well in the movie they explain that all the planets are in one solar system.

A fan then just put all the planets named on a map. This means it's not an official map. It's pretty cool, nonetheless.

well it puts to rest the old 'is FireFly set in one system argument', but I think I prefered the multiple system explination...

Hey cool! According to the URL, he/she is going to college in the same town I live in. I was all worried I was the only browncoat for miles.

Not that this has anything to do with the thread.

That's okay...this doesn't either: I found a fellow browncoat withing about four miles of me! Now that's shiny!

As for the map and all that, I do believe information provided in Podcast #7 of The Signal states that Firefly takes place all in one solar system. Improbable though it might be, they say, it's not wholly impossible.

It puts nothing to rest as long as its a fan map.

it's a fan map, so the planets aren't in the right orbits. But it's true that it's a one system deal. The movie lays that out pretty clearly.

Yup, as someone (or someones) already stated, the movie makes it all clear. If you can find a picture of some Alliance cash from the movie or the map that Geof Mandel (graphic designer) made for the movie, that'll lay everything out. Quite well, too.

I hear lots of people say that it's not possible, but then I hear the top notch astrophysicists not too long ago say "well, gosh, we forgot to look up" (meaning a different inclination). Whoops. I guess "Universal Laws" don't mean much when you've not actually been out in the 'verse. But I digress. So I'll stop.

Cheers.

I was the moron who made this map.

I made a thread on it on the O Boards here:
http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/index.html?fuseaction=for
um.viewtopic&t=15585

I basically put the planets rather randomly.

Of course, I made sure that if a planet is suppose to be a central planet or an outer planet, I put it correctly. Otherwise, the planets were placed where I felt they made the most sense.

Anyways, if anyone wants the raw Photoshop file (.PSD) for the map, I still have it, just let me know. Maybe you can do a more logically layout than what I did. ;)

So, do you go to Mizzou, or did that guy gank your work for his site?

Nope, I go to Arizona.

Anyways, I don't really too much about people using my map.

Time for some thrilling heroics.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

There was a map of the Firefly 'verse on the Best Buy Promo Disk for BSG. You can find a screen cap of it on my forum (see sig) in the Firefly Topics section. the Thread is called "Serenity Best Buy Preview Disc, Content about the systems and planets..."

"After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earth's were terra-formed and colonised." ~ Book, from the opening monologue

That pretty much speaks to it being all one solar system. :cD
