Sometimes science begins not with a final answer, but with correcting a story that sounded too beautiful.

This route is present so the Observatory does not feel like an empty promise. The full source-aware version can later be expanded with context, dating, taxonomy and references.

For now, this page functions as a living marker inside the science archive: no 404, no empty promise, and a calm structure for later depth.
