About Exoplanet Survey Atlas
This is the working face of a survey archive, not a poster about space. A measured black plate holds plum and navy panels, white body text and candidate tables that run edge to edge on 1px hairlines — no zebra fill, no rounded cards, no bloom.
Quantity is encoded with viridis and nothing else: purple floor, teal middle, yellow ceiling, perceptually uniform so a reader can rank a column by eye. Light curves stack as small multiples, each with its own micro-axis. The habitable zone is a green annulus, drawn to scale, never illustrated.
