A 17-year-old Slovakian designer Martin Vargic posted a visualization of more than 500 planets on his website, discovered beyond the Solar System as of October 2015, FastCompany writes.
The image of every planet is created based on the Exoplanet database, which includes information about radius, temperature and density of the celestial bodies.
