happy days and...
starry starry nights!

The Flow! The Flow!
The Flow ain't goin' slow,
The Flow is goin' faster than
I really want to go.

The Flow! the Flow!
I must go with The Flow,
The Flow is where I want to be--
NOT on the sandy sho'.

Their maps are all on too large a scale to show the solar system in
any detail -- although there's a series that relates the size of our

but it fits your description from the 12.5-LY scale on up.
