Justin Reid just alerted me to a nice pastiche of the London Underground map that shows you how to get around the Milky Way.

The item appeared in the Telegraph and shows you how to get from the Galactic Center to Centaurus, for instance. Space travel could be as simple as catching the tube if a new map released by Harvard’s Samuel Arbesman created the map to show the vast and complex interconnections of the Milky Way in a familiar way.

Of course, clever as it is, the map totally ignores the sub-space hyperdimensional wormholes that let you get from Omicron Centauri to Green Park without having to change at Leicester Square and avoiding the dodgy escalator at Charing Cross Road.
