The Curiosity Rover's top 10 neighbors span academics, comedians, satirists, tech brands, activists, and athletes — no single subcategory dominates, and the scores compress into a narrow band from 0.91 to 0.95, the defining signature of a flat shape.
Neil deGrasse Tyson (0.95, Academics) and The Oatmeal (0.95, Humor Memes and Satire) sit at the top, separated by just 0.0002 — effectively tied. Below them, John Oliver (0.92, Comedians) and Last Week Tonight (0.92, TV Shows) form a pair, followed by GitHub (0.92, Technology) — the only neighbor sharing the center entity's own subcategory in the top 10. Megan Rapinoe (0.91, Athletes), MacRumors.com (0.91, Websites), Greta Thunberg (0.91, Activists), Jon Stewart (0.91, Comedians), and Dan Levy (0.91, Actors) round out the set. The subcategory tally across the ten: Comedians ×2, Websites ×1, TV Shows ×1, Technology ×1, Academics ×1, Humor Memes and Satire ×1, Athletes ×1, Activists ×1, Actors ×1. No subcategory claims more than two slots.
Notably, NASA JPL — the most thematically adjacent entity imaginable — appears at position 11 in the broader data, outside the top 10. The audience that follows Curiosity Rover looks less like a space-science niche and more like a broad, civically engaged, digitally literate crowd that moves fluidly across science communication, political comedy, and tech.
