Every exoplanet orbiting every star discovered by the Kepler telescope

This awe-inspiring mental image call for all 1,235 of the nominee major planet spotted by NASA ’s Kepler telescope , and then record them in orbit around their stars . And all of this is still just the tiniest fraction of the entire Milky Way .

You ’re live on to want to expand this image , and be sure to checker outthe perfectly monolithic versionto get the full effect . The star are arranged from adult to lowly , with the biggest star on the top left about 6.1 times the sizing of the Sun and the smallest stars right at the bottom only about 0.3 the Sun ’s size . Astronomer Jason Rowe , who created the image , explains the fine point :

This exposure point every Kepler planetary candidate host star with its transiting familiar in silhouette . The sizes of the stars and transiting companions are in good order scaled . The colours of the stars are intend to represent how the eye would see the whiz outside of the earth standard pressure . star have been the right way limb darkened and the companions have been countervail relative to one another to couple the modeled wallop parameter . Some stars will even show more than one major planet !

Not all the planet can be seen at steady resolutions , but they ’re all visible in the extremist - in high spirits - reticuloendothelial system version . For a sense of scale , the Sun is included below the top row , with both Jupiter and Earth usher in transportation system , although only the gas heavyweight is immediately visible .
