How often are exoplanets confirmed in the existing literature disconfirmed by measurements from Kepler?
This visualization shows exoplanet candidates from NASA’s Kepler mission, plotting each object along a vertical axis of its disposition (e.g., “CONFIRMED” or “FALSE POSITIVE”). The horizontal axis is arbitrary, used only to spread points without overlap, while the large blue dot highlights exoplanets disconfirmed by Kepler despite prior literature confirmation. The chart demonstrates that such disconfirmations are rare relative to the total dataset. Built with the vega-lite-api and d3.csv, it encodes the disposition as a nominal field on the Y-axis and uses circle size to represent the KOI disposition.
AI-generated descriptionA visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.
The data shown here comes from NASA Kepler Exoplanet Search Results.
The X-axis isn't meant to be read, it's just a way in order to plot all points on the scale without them overlapping with each other, what matters is only the Y-axis.
This chart meant to show the answer to "How often are exoplanets confirmed in the existing literature disconfirmed by measurements from Kepler?", if we look at the second line("with y axis says CONFIRMED"), that's all exoplanets confirmed in the existing literature, and the big blue dot that poped are those disconfirmed by measurements from Kepler. The anwser is not very often since the dataset is way too large.
