It is impossible to map out the space coordinet of any planet, including Earth, for the simple reason that they revolve around Sol, in an elipsically-shaped orbit. Their coordinets are always changing. Their distance from Sol is also frequently changing. It would not even work to say that Mars has a "planet index" of Sol4, and Earth a planet index of Sol3, because Pluto and Neptune do alternate their positions in distance from Sol. It's fun to think about such things, but another loophole would be non-geographical content. Poetry, for example. If someone just wanted to publish a collection of poetry, that really has no geographic location. No system's perfect. :) Daniel [inanis (edf)] ps thanks for the fun opportunity to play out the role of "sci-fi geek" for a few minutes... been fun! :)
