Wheel-Plot Legend

• The innermost 10 rings each represent a planet and have unique color assigned
• The outer two rings represent Asteroids & Yandi, and Comets
• For Planets:
  • Angular position of a colored block represents ecliptic longitude of body at time of flyby
  • Angular width is 14.8 degrees, selected such that any overlap would mean a seasonal score factor of 0.9 or less
  • Opacity represents the V-infinity score factor, more opaque means higher score factor
    • Greater opacity also appears where blocks overlap, but this will usually be easy to differentiate from the score-based increase in opacity.
  • Non-science flybys are indicated by narrow and half height blocks
    • Opacity applies same as for science flybys
• For Comets & Asteroids and Yandi:
  • Comets are Cyan
  • Asteroids are Gray, while Yandi is Green to differentiate it
  • Each block represents a flyby, and stack counter-clockwise, starting on the positive x-axis
  • Opacity represents the V-infinity score factor
  • The number inside the block shows this is the i-th flyby of that same body
    • No number means it's the 1st flyby of that body
  • The table indicates the total count of science and non-science flybys per body or group of bodies in the case of Asteroids and Comets
    • The number of comets and asteroids visited is not explicitly indicated, only the number of flybys.
