A self-contained planning page mapping every power of ten (10^27 -> 10^-18 m) to a subject, a skymap visualization approach, the real dataset behind it, and a build-status badge. Centered on the visitor: a geolocated 3D figure at 10^0 m, zoom out to the cosmos, in to their atoms (the Eames descent). Each rung carries example thumbnails gathered from open-licensed archives (NASA, Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, RCSB PDB) with perceptual-hash dedup and full attribution; clicking opens a full-screen gallery. The ~300 MB images/ folder is gitignored and regenerable via fetch-images.mjs; the manifest (images.js) is tracked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Eight rungs flipped to "Built in skymap" now that their subsystems landed on main since #401 opened: - 10^21 Milky Way → GPU star + dust point cloud (#408, impostor gone) - 10^20 Orion Arm → true-position Gaia star bin (#442) - 10^17 nearest stars → Sun + Proxima at true parallax (#444) - 10^12/10^11/10^10/10^8 planets, solar system, Earth+Moon → planet rendering (#445) - 10^9 the Sun → emissive scene-star sphere (#444) 10^19 Local Bubble downgraded research → buildable (star field renders; the local dust volume is the remaining wiring). 10^7 Earth stays built but its viz no longer claims the geolocation pin / atmosphere, neither of which is rendered yet. Each newly-built rung carries a `ref` link to the PR that shipped it, rendered next to the badge — making the footer's "'Built in skymap' links point at the subsystem" promise real.

The 10^19 "stars around the Sun" rung linked the wrong Zenodo record (12668220) and mislabelled the extent as 800 pc. Point at the actual Edenhofer et al. 2024 dataset (zenodo 8187943) and note its true reach, out to 1.25 kpc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Re-ran fetch-images.mjs against the live archives; 344 images across all 46 rungs. The image binaries stay gitignored/regenerable — only the tracked manifest updates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

A self-contained planning page mapping every power of ten (10²⁷ → 10⁻¹⁸ m) to a
subject, a skymap visualization approach, the real dataset behind it, and a
build-status badge (
Built in skymap/Buildable now/Needs research/Aspirational).Centered on the visitor: a geolocated 3D figure at 10⁰ m is the pivot — zoom
out through your city, the planet, the solar system, into the cosmic web skymap
already renders; zoom in through your skin, a cell, a neuron, your DNA, down to
one carbon atom and the quarks within (the Eames descent, made personal).
Each rung carries a strip of example thumbnails; clicking opens a full-screen
gallery with prev/next, keyboard nav, and per-image attribution (author, licence,
source, link back to the original page).
Status refresh (main merged in)
mainis merged into this branch and the badges now reflect what actuallyrenders. 15 rungs are "Built in skymap" (was 7). Eight flipped since the PR
opened, each now carrying a
reflink to the PR that shipped it:Two accuracy corrections: 10¹⁹ Local Bubble dropped research → buildable (the
star field renders; the local dust volume is the remaining wiring), and 10⁷
Earth stays built but its blurb no longer claims the geolocation pin or
atmosphere — neither is rendered yet.
Imagery
Gathered from open-licensed archives — NASA (public domain), Openverse
(aggregates Flickr, the Met, iNaturalist, science museums…), Wikimedia
Commons, and RCSB PDB (molecular renders) — with perceptual-hash dedup
(ffmpeg dHash) so language variants / re-uploads collapse to one. 345 images,
all 46 rungs populated.
Files
index.html·styles.css·data.js(rungs) ·images.js(generatedmanifest) ·
app.js(render + gallery) ·fetch-images.mjs(re-runnablegatherer). The ~300 MB
images/folder is gitignored and regenerable vianode fetch-images.mjs— same rationale as the.bincatalogs.Planning reference only — not wired into the shipped app.
