The location of Ross 248 on a star chart
Ross 248 was a star that was located within 20 light years of Sol.
A star chart from the USS Enterprise-D library computer depicted the location of Ross 248 in relation to Sol and other neighboring stars. In 2364, this chart was seen when Lieutenant Commander Data did research into past instances of polywater intoxication, when Portal 63 on Delphi Ardu IV accessed the starship's library, and, finally, when Data investigated the possibility of a conspiracy in the upper echelons of Starfleet. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Conspiracy")
This star was located in the Andromeda constellation.
This star chart naming stars within 20 light years of Sol was drawn by Rick Sternbach for the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology in the late 1970s. Found on page 77, this chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes after the use of warp drive began. There were no commercial or exploration routes to this system.
