provenance RAW — read directly from a source catalogue, unaltered
Open Gonggong 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.

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.

SOL at epoch
2026-06-09 00:00:00 UTC (JD 2461200.5). Gravitational parameter of the primary:
1.3271244×10^20 m³/s². Semi-major axis in astronomical units uses the
IAU 2012 definition (1 au = 1.495978707×10^11 m exactly).

| Origin | natural |
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. Dwarf-planet candidate (not IAU-designated). Diameter 1230 ± 50 km, thermal fit assuming a spherical primary [Kiss et al. 2019]. Mass of the primary not given (the published 1.75e21 kg includes its moon Xiangliu).
