Posted to How do you approach data visualization for dashboards. , Mar 17, 2017 Posted to Data-Driven Design, Sep 26, 2016 I can recommend the books of Stephen Few: 'Show me the numbers' and 'Information Dashboard Design'. They break things down to the basics of presenting data without making it feel patronising.

I liked the simplicity of this one when I saw it on Reddit. Would only work in our solar system though I guess...

I'd definitely recommend the books: show me the numbers and information dashboard design by Stephen Few to get you started.
Really it's about who is going to be using the dashboard? what do they need to see? is the data they are seeing within predefined ranges? Is the data discrete or continuous? Can you simplify what the user needs to see? Are you oversimplifying what the user needs to see?
