Visual knowledge graph
Relationships, not isolated facts
This viewport is generated from the Asteria knowledge graph. Science, culture, and interpretive links remain separated by domain so visual context never changes the evidentiary meaning of a relation.

planetary systemGJ 581 system
The GJ 581 system is a planetary system with 3 known planets in this catalogue.
exoplanet detection methodRadial Velocity Method
Measuring the gravitational wobble a planet induces in its star.
observatoryLa Silla Observatory
La Silla was ESO's first observatory, a pioneering site on the edge of the Atacama Desert still productive in exoplanet and survey science.
exoplanet catalogueNASA Exoplanet Archive
The NASA Exoplanet Archive is the authoritative catalogue of confirmed exoplanets and their measured parameters.
habitable zone candidateHabitable zone
The habitable zone is the range of orbits around a star where a planet could, in principle, hold liquid water on its surface. Lying in the zone is not a guarantee of habitability.
