Our Solar System is tiny!

Doing some missions for Sirius Corp and heading to a station 116,000Ls away from jump in point and I thought wonder how this compares to Pluto, so quick Google later I am gobsmacked at how small Sol system is.

Yeah, Sol is a single star system... when you look at these 50,000+ Ls distances, you're generally looking at a loose multiple star system. They're almost (like Alpha Centauri) just different star systems entirely, that happen to be reasonably close.
