Every confirmed planet beyond the Sun, on one turning field. Each world sits
at its orbital period — close-in worlds near the star, long-orbit giants far out — and
moves at its true relative speed. The inner swarm blurs because that is where our
telescopes can see: we mostly find planets that hug their stars. Tap or hover any dot.
Data & source
Source: NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems, default parameters),
fetched —. Distance from the star = orbital period; dot size =
planet radius; motion speed = true relative orbital period. Starting angles are
illustrative — the archive has no live ephemerides, so a dot's position is not
where the planet is tonight, only how fast it circles. — planets
have no measured period and are not drawn.
