# Gigantic Galaxy Graphs The 'Space Race Infographic' Puts the Entire Universe in One Chart By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-03-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-race-infographic References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/scott/our-galaxy-in-one-infographic) The Space Race Infographic puts our entire solar system one chart. There is still much that mankind does not know about the universe, and the further and further one scrolls along this chart, the more they question what is out there. The top of the chart is filled with information about the farthest an airplane, skydiver, and manned vessel have gone into space. As the [infographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charts-not-chapters) continues on it becomes mainly filled with a squiggly line to represent massive distances. The chart flies by all of the [planets in solar system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dianai-solar-sailer), the asteroid belt, and continues on until it stops at the edge of our solar system. This far out in space measures 12.6 billion miles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Space Exploration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced spacecraft propulsion systems to enable human exploration of distant planets and beyond. - **Astrography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create high-resolution mapping technologies to accurately chart the universe and discover new celestial objects. - **Astrobiology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life by developing advanced instruments and techniques for studying potential habitable exoplanets. ### Where This Applies - **Aerospace:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize space tourism by making it accessible and affordable for a wider range of people. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop cutting-edge data visualization tools to enhance our understanding of the vastness and complexity of the universe. - **Life Sciences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Commercialize space-based research to study the effects of microgravity on human biology and develop new medical treatments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza-Shaped Universe Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universe-map1.md) - [Immersive Space Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-light.md) - [Intricate Galaxy Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-art-the-milky-way-galaxy.md) - [Scientific Time Narratives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deeptime-science-explorer.md) - [Astronomy-Based Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-solar-system-set.md) - [AR Astronomy Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-gate.md) - [Space-Themed Marbled Bear Figurine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-1.md) - [Space Exploration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-launch.md) - [Levitating Solar System Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quantum-solar-system.md)
