# Astonishing Astrological Infographics The ‘All 786 Known Planets to Scale’ Maps Space By Jordy E | Published 2012-08-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-786-known-planets-to-scale References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5930289/play-with-all-786-confirmed-planets-in-one-interactive-infographic?tag=space) & [xkcd](http://xkcd.com/1071/) The XKDC ‘All 786 Known Planets To Scale’ chart provides a visual look at all of the confirmed exoplanets. [NASA’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-matter-map) Kepler undertaking has revealed a series of such exoplanets and at an impressive rate at that, leading to our expanded knowledge of outer space. PhD student Lane Harrison teamed up with [Planetary Habitability Laboratory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-app) to produce this exceptional infographic which lays out some of the most relevant information. A quick scroll over the All 786 Known Planets To Scale graphic will reveal data on the [atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmosphere-model) and year of discovery of each planet. This timely approach allows viewers to get a sequential overview of each orb, although the rapid pace of their finding suggests that much more remains to be added to such a diagram. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Astrological Infographics:** There is a growing trend of using infographics to visually represent complex astronomical data and information. - **Exoplanet Discoveries:** The continuous discoveries of exoplanets by NASA's Kepler project present opportunities for further exploration and understanding of outer space. - **Data Visualization:** The use of visual representations, such as charts and infographics, to display scientific data is becoming increasingly important in the field of astronomy and astrophysics. ### Where This Applies - **Astronomy:** The astronomy industry can leverage the use of infographics and data visualization techniques to enhance public engagement and understanding of celestial bodies. - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can create visually stunning and informative infographics to present complex astronomical concepts in a more accessible way. - **Education:** The field of education can incorporate astrological infographics to teach students about space exploration, exoplanets, and other celestial phenomena. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Universe Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universe-map.md) - [Pizza-Shaped Universe Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universe-map1.md) - [Astronomy-Based Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-solar-system-set.md) - [Miniature Astronomy Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-planetarium.md) - [Planet-Resembling Watch Faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-time.md) - [To-Scale Interactive Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-size-of-countries.md) - [Galactic-Inspired Stationary Pins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-pins.md) - [Luxury Solar System Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bejeweled-solar-system-set.md) - [Levitating Solar System Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quantum-solar-system.md)
