Every exoplanet card without a map ended "Not an observation — no image of this world exists.",
and 395b613 wrote that rule into a comment ("Only an exoplanet has never been imaged") and a test.
The NASA Exoplanet Archive flags 102 planets as detected by imaging (ima_flag), all 102 of them in
exoplanets.json: HR 8799 b to e (Marois et al. 2008), bet Pic b, 51 Eri b, AF Lep b, and bet Pic c
and eps Ind A b, found by radial velocity and imaged since. The review read the sentence on the
live pages of HR 8799 b, 51 Eri b and bet Pic b.
The ETL now asks the archive for those names in a query of its own, cached apart from the main
table so the other 6 252 planets stay on the snapshot they were built from, and carries
`imaged: true` on the matching records. exoplanets.json changes by that field on 102 records and
nothing else (compared record by record). Their cards now end "Not an observation — it has been
imaged only as a point of light beside its star, and no map of it exists."; the rest keep "no
image of this world exists". The provenance comment and the texture catalogue's comment say which
is which.
Checked live on :4301: HR 8799 b and eps Ind A b carry the new sentence, Kepler-22 b the old one.
Tests: body-view-model.spec 'says a directly imaged exoplanet was seen as a point of light, not
that no image of it exists'; the old test is renamed 'says an exoplanet the archive does not flag
as imaged has no image'. Unit controls, each failing that test only (1 failed, 840 passed): the
provenance ignoring the flag; the view model dropping it. build.ts now requires at least 95
imaged planets (measured 102); control, the full ETL with the join made on the host's name
instead of the planet's, fails with "Only 0 exoplanets are marked as imaged".
