The Real Star Locations and Scale of Sci-fi

Some sci-fi references real stars and galaxies. This video attempts to put them all in context and show you where they are in relationship to Earth. Some franchises are surprisingly sparse with references to real stars (Stargate) and some references to stars that you wouldn’t even expect (Harry Potter). Some of the franchises mentioned: Star Trek, The Martian, Dune, Bobiverse, Halo, Mass Effect, Firefly, Serenity, Guardians of the Galaxy, Known Space, Foundation, Starship Troopers, and A Fire Upon the Deep.
