provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Open M35 (NGC 2168) 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.
| Quantity | Value | Uncertainty | Source |

| Radius | 1.55325×10^17 m (1038280 au) | no published uncertainty in this registry | Naked-eye deep-sky objects (curated) |
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.

Open cluster — naked-eye deep-sky object. Distance 906 pc. Integrated V ≈ 5.1. Extent: 19.1′ (r50, CG2020) ≈ 5.0 pc radius at the published distance. A naked-eye cluster at the feet of Gemini. Distance + centroid + r50: Gaia DR2 cluster census [Cantat-Gaudin et al. 2020].
Reproduced as the source wrote it. Author-year citations link to their DOI where one is registered.
These are absences in the catalogues aggregated here, not measurements of zero, and not statements that the quantity is unknown to science:

| Coverage | 31 classical naked-eye deep-sky objects — 20 open clusters (Pleiades · Hyades · Beehive · Ptolemy · Double Cluster · NGC 6231 …), 9 globular clusters (ω Cen · 47 Tuc · M13 …), 2 nebulae (Orion · Carina); names carry M/NGC/IC designations so the sky-culture deep-sky join attaches cultural names |
