All My Zodiac Planets Exoplanet Detection Methods Infographic

Astronomy infographic titled "Exoplanet Detection Methods" using a COMPARISON of cosmic scales archetype, designed for an astrophysics enthusiast. Show a retro 1960s space age editorial astronomy illustration with a deep cosmic dark palette, dark-mode-friendly cosmic palette, vector-clean infographic layout. Compose a horizontal comparison board of the main scientifically established exoplanet detection methods, with stylized star systems, telescope icons, light-curve panels, spectrum strips, and angular measurement diagrams. Include a clear subtitle label: "Comparison of detection methods" and a visible note: "Diagram not to scale" wherever orbital sizes, stellar sizes, distances, or instrument scales are simplified.

Central diagram content: compare the methods side by side with scale-aware visual cues and clean labeled panels: transit photometry, radial velocity, direct imaging, gravitational microlensing, astrometry, and timing variations. Use scientifically reasonable colors: Sun-like stars in pale yellow-white, M dwarfs in orange-red, hot Jupiters in blue or amber highlights, reflected-light planets dim and faint, spectra in realistic rainbow bands, gravitational lensing curves in cool white-blue. Keep proportions broadly credible while explicitly noting not-to-scale simplifications.

Add 6 labeled callouts with object or method name in canonical scientific form, each with one accurate fact in English:
1. "Transit Photometry" — "Typical signal: Earth crossing the Sun causes a brightness drop of about 0.0084%."
2. "Radial Velocity" — "Jupiter induces the Sun's motion at about 12.5 m/s."
3. "Direct Imaging" — "Young giant exoplanets can be over 1,000,000 times fainter than their host stars in visible light."
4. "Gravitational Microlensing" — "The method is most sensitive to planets at roughly 1 to 10 AU from the lens star."
5. "Astrometry" — "A Sun-like star at 10 pc with a Jupiter-like planet at 5.2 AU shifts by about 0.5 milliarcsecond."
6. "Pulsar Timing" — "Timing precision can reach microsecond accuracy, enabling detection of very low-mass planets."

Include 2 additional comparison callouts tied to representative real systems:
7. "51 Pegasi b" — "Mass about 0.46 Jupiter masses; first exoplanet found around a Sun-like star in 1995 by radial velocity."
8. "HR 8799 e" — "A directly imaged giant planet orbiting about 15 AU from its star."

Add a small scale-reference strip in English along the bottom with concise benchmarks: "Earth diameter = 12,742 km", "Jupiter diameter = 139,820 km", "1 AU = 149.6 million km", "1 parsec = 3.26 light-years".

Visual styling: mid-century space program poster influence, geometric panel borders, subtle grain, limited but rich deep cosmic dark colors with teal, amber, crimson, indigo, and off-white accents; elegant scientific typography; neat legends; thin orbit lines; instrument-style measurement arrows; clean iconography; informative but visually dramatic mood. No zodiac, no astrology framing, no UFO / pseudoscience imagery. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no UFO / pseudoscience imagery, no watermarks Scientifically accurate facts, no UFO / pseudoscience imagery, no astrology framing. Sizes and distances are typically not to true scale — label as such.
