Description

Map of the most intrinsically luminous stars within 100 parsecs from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars (based on Gaia EDR3).

Also includes the Spica and zeta Ophiuchi nebulae, and several star density structures including the Hyades, the Coma Berenices star cluster, the Ursa Major moving group, the Tucana-Horologium association, the eta Chamaeleontis association and the 32 Orionis group.
