Observations

A scientific observation log where every entry is tied to the object you observed — never an isolated record, always a link into the knowledge graph.

How it will work

An observation references the graph entity observed (e.g. Jupiter), optionally the equipment used, and the sky conditions — so your records become part of the connected knowledge of the platform.

  • Object

    The graph entity you observed — the required anchor for every observation.

  • Date & location

    When and where you observed (location reference, privacy-first).

  • Equipment

    Telescopes and instruments, referenced as graph entities where applicable.

  • Sky conditions

    Weather, transparency, and light-pollution (Bortle) context.

  • Notes

    Your written record of what you saw.

  • Images

    Linked astrophotographs, with full provenance.

Graph-anchored by design

The data model requires a graph entity for every observation (objectEntity), so there are no orphaned records. Observations enrich the graph; they never duplicate it. See the community architecture.
