Many of them are the settings for stories Larry Niven has written dealing with a thirty-light year diameter volume of the sky called Known Space. Readers already familiar with the Known Space series will immediately recognize names such as Wunderland, Down, and Jinx as but a few of the fascinating and sometimes dangerous planets on and around which space-faring man has travelled.. The story of how the cover illustration came about is interesting in that it combined the talents of people in three different disciplines, all working in the field of science fiction: the author, editor, and art director; the artist; and a particular group of intelligent readers in Boston, Massachusetts; who have been busily cataloging everything in Known Space. After a preliminary sketch of the galaxy was approved, I set out to try to render the local star group. When I approached James L. Burrows, a member of the New England Science Fiction Association who is conversant with computers, he had, not surprisingly, already written a program to produce the position map. What the computer gave him were the coordinates for the stars on a two-dimensional grid, as though viewed from roughly sixty- three degrees above the plane of the Milky Way. He put it simply: "Imagine traveling in space along the Earth's--pointed at the North Star--and looking back past the sun from a great many light years. This is what you'd see." Just how big would Known Space be in this view of the galaxy? Obviously the brightly painted stars in the foreground are part of an enlarged picture of the local neighborhood. If the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years across, then, at the size of a paperback cover, all of Known Space is a pinpoint .001"--a thousandth of an inch-- from edge to edge. One of the rewards of my kind of work is that I can add things to paintings that are visible on the original board, but not always in the reproduced version. Or are they? If you look carefully, you'll find all fourteen black holes, two Puppeteer-built General Products spacecraft hulls, egg-shaped Jinx, and... there. The Ringworld, too, of course. --LN ===============================
