   Interesting concept.  I always wondered how the Colonies were   
   organized in space.  Putting them all in orbit around one star would   
   be unworkable, as some would be scorching hot and others in perpetual   
   winter (or worse), with Caprica apparently occupying the "garden spot"   
   of the system.  I never considered a quad-nary(?) star cluster, quite   
   a novel concept!  Thanks for the pointer to the article and graphic. I   
   might order that poster, if I can only figure out where to put it...!   
   :)
