Astronomy is evidence
Scientific pages are sourced from institutions, observatories, datasets, and peer-reviewed literature. Unknown values stay blank; imagery is real and credited.
Tradition is labeled
Mythology and astrology are handled as culture, history, and symbolism — clearly separated, never presented as proven physical science.
Connected knowledge
The knowledge graph
Objects, missions, instruments, discoveries and cultural records are linked — without flattening science and tradition into the same claim.
