Sources & licenses

Every object in Astrodle comes from a published astronomical catalog, federated through SpaceCatalog — itself a normalised federation of upstreams including Gaia DR3, the NASA Exoplanet Archive, the ATNF Pulsar Catalogue, OpenNGC, GLADE+, the JPL Small-Body Database, SIMBAD and Wikidata. Each stored result keeps its own source, so a shared or historical result always shows where its facts came from.
