    This is a very clear method of displaying 3D data in a 2D format.
    I had not seen it done this way before.
    Very impressive.

    The technique used here is used extensively in drawings by Guy Ottewell in his awesome “Astronomical Companion” and the annual “Astronomical Calendar”. (For those of us Luddites who learned our night sky in the pre-PC days.

  4. Very nice, but you really need to know which exoplanets are Goldilocks planets. I mean we’re finding these exoplanets with the hope of finding life when we go there; that rules out giants like Jupiter. So if some Magician of Time lands in his starship (there is no such thing as a faster than speed of light starship), we’d like to know which planet we might choose to immigrate to. Of course with general relativity time dilation, we don’t need faster that light travel to get there still young; but we still use biological deep hibernation and rejuvenation; as well as we quite a bit of cosmic ray shielding for starship safety. Well that’s the principle, and it’s already done. Of course the very existence of The Magician of Time is TOP SECRET. Local Earth politics like other planetary politics is very silly.
