| Sep 14, 2015 at 15:32 | comment | added | Green | @JDługosz, I've added some additional information about star age, luminosity and mass; along with some requirements for the size of local stars. I'm waiting on HDE to see if he finds the "how to draw" portion useful or not. | |

Added links to maths describing star age, luminosity and size. Various other fixes and clean up.

| Sep 14, 2015 at 14:38 | comment | added | JDługosz | Will starting from a uniform random (ish) distribution of the 2d projection give you a random distribution in 3d? IAC, he was asking about realism of the neighborhood (not how to draw it) and your answer to that is "just throw some dots down". What's the average distance? What's the type of each star for a realistic situation? This does not answer the question. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 14:34 | comment | added | Tim B | Yes. But also (preferably sourced) figures for what sort of densities to expect. i.e. how many stars you should see at what distances. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 14:34 | comment | added | Green | Like, stellar density is smaller the further from the galactic core you go? | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 14:32 | comment | added | Tim B | Nice answer. I'd like to see some information on what sort of stellar density should be expected where though and the distributions of types of stars. | |
