provenance RAW — read directly from a source catalogue, unaltered
Open Ceres in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
The registry keeps every source's value rather than choosing one and discarding the rest. If you quote a figure below, quoting it alone would hide a real disagreement between catalogues.
tagged.radius: the registry shows one value and keeps 1 other — 482000 (GCAT worlds)| Quantity | Value | Uncertainty | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radius | 469700 m (469.7 km) | no published uncertainty in this registry | Solar system (curated) ⚖ 1 source disagree — 482000 m (GCAT worlds) |
| Mass | 9.383×10^20 kg | no published uncertainty in this registry | Solar system (curated) ✓ confirmed by 1 further source: GCAT worlds |
Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.
This object's parent frame changes over its life. Each leg names the frame it is expressed in and the source arc it came from. A leg with no geometry is a declared gap — the registry holds no path across it and draws none. This object has 123 legs; the table shows the first and last 12 and counts the rest.

a/e/i/Ω/ω/M osculating [JPL SBDB, full precision], carried AT THEIR OWN EPOCH (JD 2461200.5) rather than re-labelled J2000; two-body propagation, planetary perturbations not modelled.
