Correct what the ETL, the code and the textures README said of their own sources and figures
- The IAU day check said it compared W with the period Horizons states. That holds for the eight
planets and Phoebe only. Pluto's and Ceres's periods are the IAU's own rate restated (8.5e-12 and
3.3e-10: Horizons' Pluto period is 360 over its W, and the SBDB notes it derived Ceres's from the
report's 952.1532 degrees a day), and the 22 locked moons' is their orbit's, from JPL's table, not
from their Horizons pages ("Synchronous" on eighteen, nothing on Titan's or Proteus's), and now
their W's own rate. The comment, the log line and the error message say which is which; the log
shows 0.0e+0 for the twenty locked moons turned at their orbit's rate, 1.1e-8 and 3.1e-7 for the
Moon and Phobos. BodyRecord.rotationPeriodHours says that where a source states no period, or
one a later measurement overturns, it is the one the ETL spec carries (Nereid's, Eris's), where
the previous commit had Eris among the bodies whose source states none.
- Phoebe's spec justified its period by a note in the satellite table, which is about another
source (Jacobson 2000, Jupiter's outer moons) and says the table carries corrected values. The
row's n is right as the table defines it, the rate of the mean longitude: n less twice the node's
rate is 0.6541855 degrees a day, against 360 / 550.30391 = 0.6541840. What made Phoebe drift is
that the propagator reads a retrograde moon's n as its sidereal rate, as Triton's row gives it.
The comment now says so; the period, 550.30391 days, is kept.
- body-orientation.ts and its spec said the IAU's W for Earth, "taken at UT", left its face 2.3 and
4.5 degrees off Horizons at AD 1000 and AD 1. The old code took it at UT + 69.184 s; those are
that figure's, and at UT itself they are 2.0 and 4.2, as three reviewers measured through the
code (4.25, 4.25 and 4.28 at AD 1).
- The renderer said the 28 maps entering the Sun's system are about 20 megapixels of JPEG. Read
from their frame headers: 37.75, nine at 2048 by 1024 with the Sun's, Jupiter's at 3840 by 1920
and eighteen smaller.
- The textures README gave Titan 0.02 per cent unmapped, counting only the source's zeros. Its
largest gap is a flat grey of the source's own (147 and 148, its two commonest values), which
NASA's caption for PIA19658 names as the gap in coverage: measured on titan.jpg, one region of
1.09 per cent of the pixels, 0.87 of the sphere, at 48-68 N and 37 W to 25 E. The row says 1.1 per
cent and where, and step 1 says how it is counted; commit 302fa96's "the rest under 0.2%" is
therefore not true of Titan.
No behaviour changes but the ETL's log and error wording; the solar ETL passes with the new text.

Give Haumea's card its three semi-axes beside its mean radius
Haumea is triaxial, 1161 x 852 x 513 km (Ortiz et al. 2017, Nature 550, 219), and is drawn as the
sphere of its volume, 797.6 km. Its card listed "Radius 798 km" under Measured and said nothing of
its shape, which only a code comment and a commit message gave: its long semi-axis is 1.46 times
that radius and its short one 0.64.
BodyRecord takes semiAxesKm, set by the ETL from Haumea's spec, and the card then reads "Mean
radius 798 km" and "Semi-axes 1,161 x 852 x 513 km". Every other body keeps its one Radius row. The
ETL checks that a body's radius is the mean of its semi-axes, the radius of the sphere of the same
volume, to 0.1 per cent (797.6 against 797.62).
Measured on :4301, Haumea's page: "Mean radius 798 km, Semi-axes 1,161 x 852 x 513 km". Test: the
card of Haumea as shipped in bodies.json. Guarded mutants: the semi-axes dropped from the spec (run
through the solar ETL), the row, or the view model, or the label left as Radius, each fail it and
only it; a radius that is not their mean fails the ETL ("Haumea's radius, 1161 km, is not the mean
of its semi-axes").
Horizons gives triaxial radii for Phobos, Deimos, Miranda and Ariel too, which the page parser
already reads into their mean; they are not carried here.

Turn Nereid in the 11.594 hours Kepler measured, where it was drawn still
Nereid's Horizons page states no spin, and the ETL, finding none, left it still; the validator's
comment read that as "Nereid has no spin". Its rotation is measured: Kepler's K2 light curve gives
11.594 +/- 0.017 hours, confirming earlier ground-based periods (Kiss et al. 2016, MNRAS 457, 2908;
arXiv:1601.02395). Its spec now carries that day, as Eris's carries Bernstein et al.'s, and with no
known pole it turns about its orbit normal, as Eris, Haumea and Makemake do. The free-spinner check
accepts it (11.594 hours against a 360-day orbit).
A new validator: a moon without a lock must have a day unless it tumbles, and only Hyperion
("Rotational period = Chaotic") does. Nereid, left without one, fails it: "Moon nereid is drawn not
turning, and is not known to tumble". The renderer spec's example of a body left still was Titan,
said to have no period on Horizons, though it carries its orbit's; it is Hyperion now, and
BodyRecord.rotationPeriodHours says where each kind of period comes from.
Measured: the solar ETL passes; in bodies.json only Hyperion has no rotationPeriodHours; live on
:4301 Nereid's marker turns 60.000 degrees in a sixth of its day. Test: Nereid, as shipped, turns 60
degrees in 1.93 hours. Guarded mutant, the day removed from its spec and run through the solar
ETL: the validator fails, and the suite on the data it wrote fails that test and only it.

Turn each locked moon at its orbit's rate and Iapetus's pole round its orbit, so they face their planets at every date the clock reaches
The IAU gives a locked moon's W the mean motion of whichever orbit its authors had, and JPL's table has another. Near the present the difference is nothing; over the clock's AD 1 to 3000 it turned Proteus's far side to Neptune at AD 1 (146 degrees), Mimas 52 degrees from Saturn and Miranda 23. Iapetus was worse for another reason: its IAU pole is a straight line, 3.9 degrees a century in right ascension, through its orbit normal's 3 439-year circle round the Laplace pole, which by AD 1 has run past the celestial pole (Dec 97.9), 11 degrees off the orbit, with the face 87 degrees from Saturn. Mimas and Iapetus carry mission maps, so a wrong hemisphere was drawn facing Saturn. The ETL's lock check sampled only 1950-2100, so none of it failed. tools/etl/lib/locked-spin.ts, lockedToOrbit, called for every locked moon: - W's rate becomes the orbit's own mean motion, its constant moved so W is unchanged on 2025-01-01; the pole and every periodic term stay the IAU's. A W with a quadratic is left (Phobos's orbit already takes it; the Moon's is its tidal slowing, 0.75 degrees at AD 1). The kernel's rate must be within 1e-5 of the orbit's first (at most 3.4e-6, Iapetus). - Iapetus (poleFollowsOrbit): the pole follows its orbit normal, as a moon in a Cassini state does, in the IAU's own form: sines of the node's angle and four harmonics on right ascension, cosines on declination, fitted to the normal's circle and pinned to the IAU pole at the present; W takes sines of the same angles, fitted to hold the face where it is today. build.ts samples the lock over AD 1 to 3000 (8 114 dates, every 135 days) instead of 1950-2100, and subPlanetLongitudeDeg moved to the lib, shared by both. Measured on the real catalogue: at most 5.36 degrees (Titan) but the Moon 7.62 (its eccentricity, and W's quadratic at AD 1: a new named ceiling of 8), Mimas 8.94 (ceiling 11 -> 9.5) and Iapetus 15.95 (19 -> 16.5, 9.4 of it its row's lag); Proteus's own ceiling of 9 is gone, at 2.66. Iapetus's axis stays within 0.74 degrees of its orbit normal (11.06 before) and its pole is the IAU's at the present to 1e-4 degrees. Live on :4301, the longitude facing the planet at AD 1 / 1000 / 2025 / 2999: Proteus 2.6 / 2.6 / 2.6 / 2.6 (was -146.5 / -72.9 / 2.6 / 74.5), Iapetus -15.9 / -15.4 / -15.3 / -9.3 (-87.0 / -50.9 / -15.3 / 22.8), Mimas 4.1 / 6.8 / 5.7 / 8.4 (48.6 / 29.3 / 5.7 / -13.0), Miranda -0.1 / 2.2 / 0.0 / 1.4 (-23.4 / -9.6 / 0.0 / 12.6); the present is unchanged. The renderer spec now takes the rotational elements from bodies.json too, so no hand copy is left, and a new test turns Proteus, Miranda, Mimas and Iapetus to their planets at AD 1 and AD 3000. Guarded mutants, each run through the solar ETL and then the full suite on what it wrote: lockedToOrbit bypassed (validator: Mimas 52.30, ceiling 9.5; the new test fails), Iapetus on the IAU's straight pole (98.48), and its pole round the orbit without W's terms (73.13); each fails the new test and only it.

Print Hyperion's eccentricity as JPL measures it now, 0.105, not the archived row's 0.023
The card listed Hyperion's eccentricity under "Measured" as 0.023: the archived JPL satellite row
the orbit is drawn from gives 0.0232. JPL's current table (SAT441) gives 0.105, and Horizons'
osculating orbit ranges 0.074 to 0.132 from 1980 to 2100 (0.1099 on 2025-01-01). The row stays
the orbit: with 0.105 put into it, Hyperion is further from Horizons, not nearer (median 9.6
degrees against 7.8 over 1980-2100, as a reviewer measured), so only the card changes.
BodyRecord.measuredEccentricity carries the figure the card prints where it is not the orbit's
own; the ETL sets it for Hyperion, and buildBodyViewModel prints it. build.ts now checks every
card's eccentricity against Horizons' osculating one on 2025-01-01, within 0.03: measured at most
0.0151 (Phoebe, and the Moon, whose eccentricity swings) once Hyperion prints 0.105, where the
row put it 0.0867 out. The live Hyperion page reads "ECCENTRICITY 0.105".
Controls: the ETL with Hyperion on its row's figure fails ("Hyperion's card gives an eccentricity of
0.0232, where Horizons' osculating orbit has 0.1099"); the view model ignoring the field fails
"prints the eccentricity measured for a moon whose orbit keeps an older one".

Carry every body's IAU rotational elements, read from NAIF's kernel of the 2015 report
bodies.json now holds, for 33 of the 38 bodies, the pole right ascension and declination and the prime meridian W of the IAU WGCCRE 2015 report (Archinal et al. 2018), with their rates and the periodic terms. They are read from NAIF's pck00011.tpc, which carries the report in a form a program can read, periodic terms and their angles included. Hyperion (chaotic), Nereid, Eris, Haumea and Makemake have no model in the report. The parser, src/app/shared/astro/rotational-elements.ts, sits beside the other source readers so the unit suite covers it. It reads data blocks only where \begindata stands alone on a line, as the kernel's own prose mentions the token mid-sentence. It reads the Fortran exponent (the Moon's -1.4D-12 d² term) and the degree-2 angles of the Mars system, where Phobos's tidal acceleration lives. NAIF numbers a small body 2 000 000 past its catalogue number, so Ceres is 2000001. Periodic terms under 0.01 degrees are left out. 0.01 degrees moves a point by 0.11 px on the largest body ever drawn (Jupiter at 641 px of radius). That drops 32 terms: - Mercury: 4 (0.0011 degrees and less) - the Moon: 8 of 13 (0.0072 and less) - Mars: 13 (0.00024 and less); its three 0.42-1.59 degree long-period terms stay - Phobos: 1 (0.0063) - Jupiter: 5 (0.0022 and less) - Europa: 1 (0.009) Kept, among others: Mimas's 44.85-degree libration, Triton's 32-degree precession, Miranda's 4.4 and Phobos's 1.14-degree libration. build.ts now checks the elements against Horizons on the real catalogue: - Every body but those five carries elements, and they do not. - The IAU day, 360 over W's rate, is within 1e-4 of Horizons' period. Measured: at most 1.8e-5 (Jupiter). Neptune gets a 0.01 ceiling: 0.89 per cent, because the report takes Karkoschka's 15.9663 h where Horizons keeps Voyager's 16.11. - The spin axis, the pole turned end for end where W runs backwards, is within 0.1 degrees of Horizons' obliquity. Measured: at most 0.058 (Venus, 177.358 against 177.3); Uranus 97.771, Pluto 119.610, Earth 23.435. Full npm run etl passes. Three mutants each fail it on the named check: - W's sign dropped: "Venus's IAU spin axis is 2.642 degrees". - Ceres looked up by catalogue number: "Body ceres has no IAU rotational elements". - W's rate read per century: "Mercury's IAU day ... 3.65e+4". Nothing is drawn from these yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Draw a planet and a heavy moon going round their barycentre, as Pluto and Charon do
Standish's "Pluto" is the Pluto-Charon barycentre, and Charon is an eighth of Pluto's mass, so that point lies 2 131 km from Pluto's centre, 943 km above its surface. Drawn the usual way, with Pluto at its row's position and Charon going round it, Pluto sits where nothing is and Charon's orbit is 2 131 km too wide on one side. A moon record can now carry massRatio, its mass over its planet's. For such a moon the renderer keeps the pivot at the planet's elements, which is the barycentre, and each tick puts the planet massRatio / (1 + massRatio) of the relative separation back from it and the moon the rest out. Both orbits are the relative ellipse scaled, the moon's by 1 / (1 + q) and the planet's by -q / (1 + q), turned with the moon's node every tick: Charon's spans 17 460 km of radius and Pluto's 2 131, round the same point, and neither passes through Pluto. Only Charon will carry it; every other moon's barycentre is inside its planet. Checked against Horizons in the unit suite, on JPL's records for the two: Pluto (999) from the Pluto-system barycentre (9) in 2100 is 2 131.24 km out, and the renderer puts it within 5 km of that length and 0.5 degrees of that direction, exactly opposite Charon at the inverse of their mass ratio; Charon from Pluto is within 0.5 degrees of Horizons in 2100 (measured 0.37). The same table adds Titania, against Uranus's equator 120 years from its 1980 epoch, within 0.75 (measured 0.62). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Move the solar system on JPL's mean elements, so it stays right as the clock runs
Every body carried one set of osculating elements from Horizons at 2025-01-01, run forward by
Kepler with a GM from a table of mass ratios. That set is exact at its instant and drifts from
then on, and the clock now runs a month a second: the Moon, with Earth's mass ratio lacking its
own and the osculating axis, went round in 27.70 days instead of 27.32, 66 degrees out after a
year, and its locked face was spun at the same wrong rate.
Planets and Pluto now take Standish's Table 2a/2b ("Keplerian Elements for Approximate
Positions of the Major Planets"): elements against the J2000 ecliptic, their rates per century,
and the b, c, s, f terms of Jupiter to Pluto, fit for 3000 BC to AD 3000. Table 1 is closer near
the present (Saturn 0.23 degrees at worst 1950-2100, against 0.32 here) but is only fit for
1800-2050, and by AD 3000 has Saturn 4.3 degrees out where Table 2 holds every planet within 0.3.
The moons take JPL SSD's satellite mean elements: sidereal mean motion n to ten figures, the
periods of their node and periapsis, and each one's local Laplace plane by its pole. They
propagate with n itself, never a GM: gmForParent and its mass table are gone. Horizons still
gives size, spin and obliquity.
Both tables are read from the Internet Archive's copy of JPL's pages, pinned to one capture: the
live approx_pos page has dropped Pluto, and the live sats/elem page has dropped n and rounds the
period to four or five figures (Phobos 0.3187 d, a revolution out within a decade).
What the tables leave implicit, measured against Horizons before it was accepted:
- The precession periods are magnitudes. A node regresses on a prograde orbit and advances on a
retrograde one; a periapsis advances except where a resonance forces the eccentricity. Io's
and Europa's follow their conjunction line backwards at 2 n(Europa) - n(Io) = 0.74 degrees a
day, which is exactly the 1.625- and 1.394-year periods in the table. Read as advancing, Io
was 0.9 degrees out and Europa 2.1.
- On a retrograde orbit the node's turning is added back to the mean anomaly. Taken off, Triton
drifted a degree a year, 105 degrees by 2100.
- The Laplace frame's x axis is where the plane rises through the ICRF equator, RA of the pole
plus 90. Read against the ecliptic, Io was 2.8 degrees out, Phobos 54 and Titan 127.
Orbit lines are now drawn in their own plane and turned by a quaternion each tick, so a turning
node carries the line with the body: fixed at one date, the Moon's line would be up to 69 000 km
off it nine years on. The Earth row is the Earth-Moon barycentre, 4 700 km from Earth, 0.002
degrees from the Sun. A tidally locked moon's day is now 360 / n, its sidereal period (the Moon
27.321662 d), so it stays locked to the orbit it is drawn on.
Angular error against Horizons VECTORS (ICRF, TDB; heliocentric for planets, planet-centred for
moons), degrees, read from the live renderer's markers in the running app:

Three miss what was hoped for, and why:
- Jupiter 0.17, Saturn 0.32, Uranus 0.17 against the 0.1 hoped for: short-period perturbations
of the giants by one another, which no Keplerian fit carries. Standish states his own Table 2
errors as 600, 1 000 and 2 000 arcseconds (0.17, 0.28, 0.56 degrees). Out to AD 3000, measured
at 1800, 2200, 2400, 2600 and 3000, every planet stays within 0.3.
- The Moon, 1.9: evection (1.27) and variation (0.66), which a mean ellipse leaves out.
- Phobos, 2.1 until 2050, then 5.9 in 2075 and 11.1 in 2100, growing as the square of the time:
its tidal acceleration, which the table has no column for. Its elements are MAR080's, epoch
1950. The map's dates are also UTC where the elements are TDB, 69 s today,
which is 0.9 degrees of Phobos and nothing for anything else.
Held in place by:
- build.ts: each body's mean elements against Horizons' own osculating elements on the ETL's
2025-01-01, at most 0.25 degrees for a planet and 2.5 for a moon (measured: Uranus 0.101, the
Moon 1.407; a regressing Triton node reads 10.24 and fails), and every moon's day equal to its
sidereal period (a 1% error fails).
- Unit tests freezing nine Horizons vectors (Earth 2100, Jupiter 1950, Saturn 2075, Pluto 1975,
the Moon 2050, Io and Europa 1950, Titan and Triton 2100) through SystemOrbitsRenderer, the
Moon kept on its own turning line, the retrograde rule, the Standish terms, the Laplace frame,
and both table parsers. Nine mutants each fail the test named for them, and the two
validators each refuse a mutated build of the real catalogue.

Turn each body at its own rate, from Horizons' own figures
The view had one rotation in it — the planet on the detail page, at 0.08 rad/s, a number with no source. Nothing in the system view turned at all. The data was already on disk: every cached Horizons page carries how its body spins, in one of five forms. The rate in radians per second is preferred where it appears, because it is signed — that is how Venus and Uranus are known to turn backwards — then a period in hours or days, then the `9h 55m 29.711 s` the giant planets use, and finally the word every major moon here carries instead of a number: Synchronous. A tidally locked moon's day is its orbit, so Kepler supplies it from the elements already parsed and the parent it goes round. Seventeen of the eighteen bodies come out within 1% of their published period — Earth 23.934 h, Jupiter 9.925 h, Venus -5832.5 h, Io 42.5 h, Callisto 400.5 h. Titan is the exception: its page states no period at all, so it is left still rather than turned at an invented rate. The axis is the orbit normal tilted by the obliquity about the orbit's ascending node, which is where an obliquity is measured from and the only line in the orbit the elements name. The phase at the epoch is published for none of these bodies, so the face turned toward the camera is not a claim; the rate and the direction are. At true rates nothing is visible moving — Earth turns 15 degrees an hour. A clock the reader can run faster is the next piece, and the audit asks for it anyway.
