An exoplanet is a planet that exists outside of our own solar system, and these days we know about hundreds of them. I want to make a graphic you can mouse over to highlight groups of planets that are similar in various ways, eg. earth-like or jupiter-like or even super-mega planets. Then, if you click on a planet, that planet and the rest of the planets in its system along with its star will snap together to form a solar system, with stats and everything! I drew inspiration from this:\r\n![exoplanets_large](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/19689113/17104977/417a0a3e-5253-11e6-9450-6a0b5e2dc425.png)\r\nAnd actually from this: [Theories of Everything, Mapped](https://www.quantamagazine.org/20150803-physics-theories-map/) from one of our Friday sessions.\r\nMy main dataset would be the [NASA exoplanet archive](http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=planets), but I would probably also need various other things from the [Kepler stellar archive](http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/Kepler_stellar_docs.html) to make sense of the scales and colors of things.\r\n\r\nAlso I will need to know js, so I might have to table this for another week and come up with a new pitch for this week. But this is what I was thinking about already."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jsoma/playfair-projects/issues/comments/238357883","html_url":"https://github.com/jsoma/playfair-projects/issues/15#issuecomment-238357883","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jsoma/playfair-projects/issues/15","id":238357883,"user":{"login":"barjacks","id":1587242,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1587242?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks","html_url":"https://github.com/barjacks","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/barjacks/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-08-08T19:58:54Z","updated_at":"2016-08-08T19:58:54Z","body":"Hey @spm2164 great idea. And nice layout you have drawn up. Why does is have to be interactive though? I would actually much rather see this as a graph where you have done all the grouping and offer the reader some annotations of why certain planets stand out, what's special about other ones, the biggest, the smallest, where earth is, etc. etc. That way it would also work on my mobile phone. :-)"}}
