Field notes

The visual separates a massive star into elemental layers and lets visitors isolate those layers through labeled controls. The accompanying evidence trail points to B²FH, the iron binding-energy curve, SN 1987A’s cobalt-56 decay signal, and the Crab Nebula pulsar recorded in 1054. The page also supplies machine-readable links labeled facts.json and llms.txt, alongside eleven language choices and an email channel for corrections or translation suggestions.
