Despite the source, this curve of solar system escape velocity was hand drawn and terribly wrong, leading to confusion about where the curves appear to cross. See this answer on the Space Exploration stackexchange site. I constructed a plot from JPL Horizons data that accurately shows the heliocentric velocities, which should replace this plot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dradler (talkcontribs) 16:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
