Kepler-19 is catalogued in this registry as a payload, held in the frame of Earth, from GCAT — artificial space objects.
Registry id GCAT_S51051 ·
source layer gcat ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Exists from 2022-01-13 15:24:59 UTC (JD 2459593.14236) until 2025-04-02 00:00:00 UTC (JD 2460767.5).
Open Kepler-19 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.
existsUntil: the registry shows one value and keeps 1 other — 2460764.5 (CelesTrak SATCAT)| Quantity | Value | Uncertainty | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radius | 0.35 m | no published uncertainty in this registry | GCAT — artificial space objects |
| Mass | 15 kg | no published uncertainty in this registry | GCAT — artificial space objects |
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.
These are the sourced elements. This page does not print a position: a position is a function of time, and a single one dated to the bake would be stale the moment it was read. The registry composes a position for any date, past or future, from these elements — open the scene below and set the clock.
