	The dashed lines represent the patterns of radio signals
generated by a dozen or so pulsars. In theory a reasonably intelli-
gent being could triangulate the position of our solar system by
the angular relationships of these signals to one another. I don't
know how this is done in three dimensions given a two dimensional
representation. But at any rate, let's hope that the beings that
pick up this wandering roadmap don't have to park their battle
cruisers to haul it in...
