I'm in the research phase of writing a pilot for a sci-fi TV show and I'm trying to make it somewhat based in reality.<BR><BR>Could someone briefly describe how stars are named, and some of the different classifications for stars and other celestial objects?<BR><BR>Is there a good graphical representation of the milky way with discovered stars/planets/asteroids in it? I looked a little but didn't really find anything that was of interest.
