When you know you're playing Elite far too much....

I was reading an article today about nearby life-supporting planets to our solar system, and one in particular being about 12ly away. First thought, "Oh, that's a single jump.....which ship should I take?".

I figured I wasn't alone doing this, but glad to have proof that I'm not.

Gorgeous picture, and I would love to find something similar in game.
Although, it's a false color pic, maybe the scanners could have false color attributes that show something similar? Probably pita to implement, esp given its impracticality, but the aesthetics would be well to behold!
