It should be noted that there are expected to be more than 8000 stars
in this cube, but that we can't see the less bright ones further out:
mostly the dimmer red dwarfs but also likely some white dwarf stars.
There may still be a few stars we haven't detected even within 5 parsecs
(16 light years).
That said, it is likely to be much more realistic than any other map
available in print as a science fiction resource.
