[VIDEO] I've gotten into space videos lately. For example: terraforming Mars, why is Venus so hot with high atmospheric pressure, or even exoplanets - that is those planets that orbits other stars outside of our own solar system.
However, the worlds that Star Trek visits or even the star where Babylon 5 is located (and yes the universes of Star Trek and Babylon 5 are totally different. Vulcan has their own star - 40 Eridani - which is known to us and of course we don't really know if Vulcan exists. Wolf 359 is a real star, not just the star where Starfleet suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Borg.
Also Babylon 5 is located by a real star Epsilon Eridana. Also our closest star is Proxima Alpha Centauri and that was the setting for the film Avatar.
It's interesting to know some of these many stars that we see in sci-fi TV programs and movies are in fact real though whether or not they may be home to various fictional alien or humanoid extraterrestrial species is whole other issue.
