sky / sources
Sky at current UTC, viewed south from the active city and authored camera height. Your career year is independent of the sky clock.
Astronomy Engine: Sun, Moon and seven planets, with Earth rotation and observer parallax. Planet dots have a minimum display size. Stars use the Yale Bright Star Catalog; proper motion is not modeled.
Selected wavelengths, made visible: NASA/Goddard; ESA/Gaia/DPAC optical Milky Way with ESA/Planck 857 GHz infrared intensity in authored amber and violet. This is an enhanced, false-color blend of historical surveys, not a live or continuous-spectrum photograph.
Euclid/CFHT optical imagery retains its small, actual sky footprint. Credit: ESA/Euclid/Euclid Consortium/NASA, CFHT, image processing by J.-C. Cuillandre and E. Bertin (CEA Paris-Saclay). Modified reprojection, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO. Faint DESI DR1 galaxies retain measured positions and redshifts; their display colors are authored, not photometry.

Historical NASA Blue Marble appears around the active location, with a dithered reveal edge. This visual treatment is not live weather or a confidence measure. The image fades before ground level; the flat horizon is idealized, not street imagery.
