This chart plots 1,568 named stars from a HYG-schema catalog (derived from Hipparcos / Yale / Gliese data) within 60 light years of the Sun. Positions are Cartesian coordinates in parsecs, centred on the Sun.
The bounded grid marks a near-field radius of 6 parsecs; each star inside it is connected to the grid plane by a vertical stem. Stars beyond the near field are shown as distant background points, with the brightest kept labelled as fixed orientation landmarks.
