Source maps are based on NASA imagery. This prototype crops, shades and colours those maps using CSS; it is an illustrative composition, not a scientifically scaled model.
Paul character: reference supplied in ZNchat (Paul-original-style-60fps-with-DJ.mov). Proposed astronaut treatment generated from that reference for review. This is not final approved character artwork.
Instrument Serif: Rodrigo Fuenzalida, SIL Open Font License, loaded by existing site font configuration.
All proposed biography, value wording and story introductions require editorial review before publication.
V2 additional texture: Uranus from Solar System Scope under the same CC BY 4.0 terms.
Pluto map: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI, https://science.nasa.gov/resource/pluto-global-color-map/ . Global map contains uneven observational coverage; illustrated globe is not a scientific viewer.
Voyager: simplified procedural dish, antenna and instrument body made for this prototype, not an exact spacecraft model.

earth_normal_map.tif: unmodified 2048 x 1024 TIFF downloaded from https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/download/2k_earth_normal_map.tif . earth_normal_map.png is a lossless, pixel-identical format conversion for browser compatibility.

The official pack provides an Earth normal map, not a separate bump/height map. No visual alterations were made to these downloaded material maps.

V7 photographic sky: ESO/S. Brunier, https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso0932a/ .
Original 4000 x 2000 publication JPEG from https://cdn.eso.org/images/publicationjpg/eso0932a.jpg , unmodified source file. Licensed CC BY 4.0 under https://www.eso.org/public/outreach/copyright/ . Rendered on a rotated celestial sphere with a continuous lens remapping, display brightness and contrast adjusted, and a screen-edge fade; foreground stars are added separately. Visible attribution links to the original image in the prototype footer.
V7 rendering uses three-dimensional meshes and WebGL materials. Procedural weather, plasma, atmosphere and terrain relief are artistic modifications, not scientific reconstructions.
V7 Pluto: the source map's unobserved south-polar strip is blended into an illustrative procedural frost cap for visual continuity. It is not a reconstruction of the unmapped terrain.

V10 lossless delivery variants (27 October 2026): astronaut-paul.webp, earth_normal_map.webp and earth_specular_map.webp are lossless WebP encodings of their same-named PNG originals. Dimensions, decoded RGBA pixels, alpha and RGB values in transparent pixels were verified identical. Original PNG files are preserved. Attribution and source rights are unchanged.
