Field notes
The page explains that satellite identity details are enriched on demand for highlighted objects, using CelesTrak SATCAT for structured identifiers and Wikidata for operator, mission category and a plain-English description. It distinguishes recent launches whose brightness is uncertain, and says the weekly pick separates the best event of the week from whether that event is exceptional in absolute terms.
