Scene & science ↗The evidence behind the image.
These are generated illustrations. Named planets, stars, galaxies and nebulae provide observed astronomical references; comet tails and aurorae also draw on established physical processes. Warriors, traditions, moons, shelters and local environments are fictional. Invented worlds without confirmed host assignments remain outside the real exoplanet host map. Each scene includes its astronomical evidence, source links, measurement uncertainties and rendering assumptions.
