Route 01
Sky first
Open the image index, read Carina, then follow to Hubble Deep Field, the Apollo 11 lunar module, and Blue Marble.
Open image notesReading paths
Three practical ways to move through the archive.
Start with images, move to maps, or read the source ledger first. Each route keeps the collection easy to inspect.
Route 02
Maps and print
Move from the map room to the library shelf, then look at city maps, lighthouses, and poster work from different public collections.
Open map roomRoute 03
Ledger first
Start in the source table, then check how the same record appears in the image pages, the video rows, and the map room.
Open sourcesExpanded paths
Six routes that keep the archive varied without making it feel random.
Reading path
Sky image path
Carina Nebula, Hubble Deep Field, Andromeda, and Aurora Australis. This route works well when the goal is to compare detail, color, and scale.
Open image notesReading path
Earth and orbit path
Earth at Night, Blue Marble, Earth Horizon, and Hurricane Matthew. This route keeps the collection close to visible systems on Earth.
Open map roomReading path
Planetary surface path
Mars Tracks, Gale Crater Dune, Mercury Scarps, and Pluto. This route gives the shelf a surface-driven read.
Open sourcesReading path
Map and print path
City Map, Lighthouse, Books and Maps, and WPA Poster. This route leans into public documents, graphic structure, and navigation.
Open map roomReading path
Source check path
Sources, selected note, field guide, and FAQ. This route is best when the reader wants the record before anything else.
Open sourcesReading path
Mission video path
Artemis rollout timelapse, Perseverance 360 view, Mars tracks, and the source ledger. This route keeps motion and still images in the same reading line.
Open sourcesPath guide
What each page does in the archive.
The pages are split by task, so a visitor can choose a route without guessing what each section is for.
| Page | Job | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Image notes | Show the public image set | Start here when the object matters most. |
| Selected note | Go deeper on one record | Use when a single image needs more room. |
| Map room | Group spatial documents | Use when the image reads like a map, route, or signal. |
| Reading shelf | Hold short route summaries | Use when you want a quick cross-page overview. |
| Sources | Keep records easy to verify | Use whenever the exact file or credit matters. |
| Field guide | Explain the curation rules | Use when checking whether a note is too thin or too repetitive. |
| Logbook | Track site updates | Use when the archive needs a dated record. |
| FAQ | Answer practical questions | Use when the reader wants the shortest explanation of the site shape. |
Longer routes
Three slower paths for readers who want more than a quick tour.
Each route uses different records so the archive does not feel like the same card repeated.
Route one
Sky to planet
Start with Carina and Deep Field, then move to Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Comet Borrelly.
This route shifts from crowded fields to sparse disks and ring structures.
Open image notesRoute two
Paper to place
Begin with the Library Room, then read Books and Maps, City Map, Lighthouse, and the WPA Poster.
This route is built around shelves, labels, public typography, and navigation symbols.
Open reading shelfRoute three
Motion and surface
Watch the Artemis rollout, open the Perseverance 360 view, then compare Mars tracks, Gale Dune, and Santa Cruz Ridge.
This route ties time, vehicle movement, and surface texture together.
