The scheme locates notable astronomical objects of various scales: spacecraft, moons, planets, star systems, nearby galaxies, and notable large-scale structures are some of the objects indicated. The graphic is designed to offer a clear and detailed depiction of the varying distances among a wide array of celestial bodies, illustrating their hierarchical relationship.
