New The Exoplanet Explorer


The Exoplanet Explorer is an interesting endeavour to exercise imagined solar systems showing the orbits of all the known exoplanets. An exoplanet is a planet that has been discovered exterior the Sun's solar system. Thousands of exoplanets accept forthwith been discovered, generally amongst NASA's Kepler Space Telescope.

The Exoplanet Explorer uses information from NASA to exercise imagined views of the 3 chiliad exoplanets discovered thence far. These views are based on the information known almost the visualized planet. Alongside this imagined thought of the planet you lot tin thought information almost the planet, such equally its temperature, size too the length of its orbit to a greater extent than or less its sun. I accept no thought how accurate these exoplanet maps are only I assume they are generated based on this information.


You tin run into a to a greater extent than accurate thought of the exoplanets on the Exoplanets Viewer. The Exoplanets Viewer is a WebGL visualization (with a footling assistance from Unity) of the Universe, showing the place of all the exoplanets discovered thence far. The Exoplanets Viewer shows the pose of all the known exoplanets equally seen from your electrical flow place too time.

The color of an exoplanet on the map represents its temperature. The light-green exoplanets are those situated inwards the habitable or 'Goldilocks' zone. The hottest planets are colored cherry-red piece H2O ice worlds are colored blue. If you lot are looking for a novel abode too thence you lot desire to select ane on ane of the light-green planets.
