The visualization displays the 1,000 largest confirmed exoplanets as colored circles, sized by their radius and arranged using a force-directed collision layout. The root node is fixed and can be dragged by moving the mouse, causing the other exoplanets to repel and collide with each other in real time. Rendered entirely on a canvas element using D3 v3, the force simulation applies gravity and charge forces while a quadtree-based collision detection prevents overlapping circles. The planets are sorted by radius and only the top 1,000 are shown, creating a dynamic, interactive scatter of the largest known exoplanets. Data comes from the Planetary Habitability Laboratory's Exoplanets Catalog.
