Anyone can add updated version of this graph? 2004 is quite old...

I'll be on the lookout, but so far nothing free to use.--Planetary 04:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It's a gif file, however. Also, what's the copyright status of this image? Some things still need to be done before replacement. (No time for me to do it now)--Planetary 02:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Some further explanation needed
It might me a good idea to add some further explanation of some aspects of this figure where appropriate:
 * The larger circles with letters indicate Solar System planets (by the first letter of their names); Mercury is cut off.
 * The lines labeled with "Radial Velocity" indicate the radial velocity for companions solar mass stars.
 * Only the initial (leftmost) portions of the "Radial Velocity" lines correspond to a constant radial velocity (after that I'm not sure what they represent).
 * The "Period" scale is for companions of solar mass stars.
