Watch
Close ✕What has changed
Official source connected. An official source has been captured over the network and stored, and Watch reads those records. Watch shows the Atlas editorial corpus alongside accepted observations; each record states its own provenance, and the source list reports each source's own health.
The 12 most recent records — listed on the Solar System. This body is a schematic, not a map: records are held by date and by source, and none is drawn at a coordinate.
No record among the most recent records attaches to anything drawn on the Solar System.

The Atlas holds no coordinate for this subject — a treaty, a programme, a phenomenon. It is a real observation about a real thing that is not a point on a map, and no centroid was invented for it.
Sources
Measured over what each source has published to this system, not over the publisher’s own operations.

What has happened, most recent first; then what fell due without a recorded outcome, most recent first; then what is scheduled, soonest first. No ranking, no relevance score and no severity.

Computed celestial events · not an impact-risk statement
Schematic · log-compressed · ranked discs · not an ephemeris — full statement →
Computed — not an impact-risk statement — a close approach is a computed passing distance. Schematic view: distances are log-compressed (to true scale Neptune sits 30× Earth’s distance) and discs are ranked by size, not to scale. Positions computed from JPL mean orbital elements for today — an orientation good to a few degrees, not an ephemeris.
