In this stunning simulation, we present a visual journey through 1,158 star systems and their 2,197 exoplanets—carefully filtered from NASA’s Exoplanet Archive, the largest exoplanet database to date with nearly 30,000 confirmed and candidate worlds.

🎯 Filtering Criteria:

• Only one unique entry per planet (duplicates removed)
• Known orbital semi-major axis
• Known planet radius
• Known host star radius
• Known distance to the Sun

To enhance clarity and realism, each star is rendered with its astronomically accurate color, derived from real stellar temperature data. Stars are scaled up visually for ease of observation, while their distances from our solar system remain accurate. However, the directional arrangement and the distances between the stars themselves are not to scale, keeping the emphasis on their relative placement rather than precise 3D spatial relations.

Based entirely on real astronomical data, this simulation transforms raw scientific information into a vivid and compelling cosmic experience.
