One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Orbit from osculating elements
9P/Tempel 1 is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = 3.1 AU, e = 0.512, i = 10.5°, period 2,040 d).
SourceBundled orbital elements
EpochJD 2451545
MethodTwo-body propagation of the stored elements by the shared orbit service; no perturbations.
LimitThese elements are bundled with the object record without a recorded retrieval; the dated JPL Small-Body Database snapshot in the app's live catalog is the documented source for the same body.
Physical data
Undocumented
Bulk properties
9P/Tempel 1: mean radius 3 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
SourceBundled object record
LimitThe object catalog does not record where these values came from; treat them as unverified until the record is completed.
Close-up appearance
The nucleus, coma and tail are identification geometry. Tail direction follows the propagated orbit and the Sun direction; the local shape is representative.
SourceSpace Time rendering contract
LimitNot a resolved observation.
Description and facts
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
