The infographic showcases a circular master schematic of the observable universe projected on a radial logarithm with the Sun at its center. Each object in the schema has been labeled with a number for easy indexing in the surrounding text columns.
The numbers assigned to each object follow the order of their proximity to the center of the solar system, beginning with the Sun (1) and extending outward through the planets and other objects of the solar system (2-51), nearby stars (52-112), distant notable stars, star clusters, and nebulae (113-123), nearby galaxies (124-156), notable galaxies, galactic clusters, and superclusters (157-203), and finally, the most distant known objects (203-210).

The color code used in the title labels of each astronomical object corresponds to five categories: moon/asteroid/other, planets, star systems, galaxies, and large-scale objects.
The intention behind selecting the featured celestial objects was to provide a comprehensive overview of the most notable objects in our universe, including both well-known objects familiar to the general public and lesser-known but equally fascinating ones.
As a curious fact about this infographic, it is the poster component of a multi-platform project that is also presented in physical pocket tourist guidebooks and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, with the aim of disseminating the diversity of current astronomical knowledge.
Overall, it was an exciting project to work on, as it required extensive research to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information presented. As of April 2023, the poster and book have just been released in Spanish and are currently being translated into French and German.
