IMAGE AND SCIENTIFIC-DATA ATTRIBUTIONS -------------------------------------- Earth day colour — Blue Marble Next Generation, December 2004, cloud-free, no bathymetry shading. Source image: https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/74000/74218/world.200412.3x21600x10800.jpg NASA Earth Observatory / Reto Stöckli. Record: https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/images/74218 Modification: resized and recompressed for texture use; a derived water mask was made from the day map because NASA publishes no equirectangular water mask. Earth night lights — Black Marble 2016 colour. Source image: https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/144000/144898/BlackMarble_2016_3km.jpg NASA Earth Observatory images by Joshua Stevens, using Suomi NPP VIIRS data from Miguel Román, NASA GSFC. Record: https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/images/144898 Modification: resized/recompressed; city lights isolated with R - 0.55*B to remove the bluish moonlit land/ice base, then stored as a greyscale texture. Earth clouds — source image: https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/57000/57747/cloud_combined_8192.tif NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, image by Reto Stöckli. Record: https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/images/57747 Modification: resized/recompressed, converted to greyscale and faint haze floor removed. Cloud advection, formation/dissipation and cloud-only night fill are original runtime rendering of this static source, not live weather. NASA imagery guidance: https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/ NASA asks to be acknowledged as the source. No NASA logo or insignia is used, and nothing implies NASA endorsement. The water mask is derived from the NASA day map; it is not a NASA-published mask. Mercury — MESSENGER MDIS BDR global monochrome reflectance mosaic, 32 pixels per degree.

Venus visible cloud deck — Solar System Scope / INOVE, CC BY 4.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/download/4k_venus_atmosphere.jpg Source information: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/ Modification: source chroma removed; luminance variation reduced to 10% around a pale-yellow cloud deck. This is a reconstructed atmosphere map, not a global observed visible-colour mosaic or Magellan radar terrain. Mars — Viking MDIM 2.1 colourized 1 km global mosaic. Public-domain NASA/USGS material; NASA Ames / USGS Astrogeology. Source: https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/ckan/dataset/7131d503-cdc9-45a5-8f83-5126c0fd397e/resource/5ea881c6-01b3-41fa-a7af-42d2131b54f1/download/mars_viking_mdim21_clrmosaic_1km.jpg Product record: https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/mars_viking_colorized_global_mosaic_232m Modification: resized and recompressed. The source is colourized imagery, not a true-colour measurement. Jupiter — Cassini cylindrical map PIA07782, NASA / Jet Propulsion Laboratory / Space Science Institute. Near-natural colour derived from 750/451 nm filters; December 2000 snapshot. NASA/JPL image-use policy: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/jpl-image-use-policy/ Source: https://assets.science.nasa.gov/content/dam/science/psd/photojournal/pia/pia07/pia07782/PIA07782.jpg Map page: https://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/cassinis-best-maps-of-jupiter-cylindrical-map/ Modification: resized and recompressed; no coordinate grid.

Saturn colour chroma is reduced and pale-gold graded; Neptune's published green/turquoise map is unchanged, with deep-blue colour enhancement applied by the shader. These are filter composites, not photometrically calibrated true-colour maps. This work used data acquired from the NASA/ESA HST Space Telescope, associated with OPAL program (PI: Simon, GO13937), and archived by the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555.

The 2048x1 opacity profile is derived from measured normal optical depth using area-averaged 1-exp(-tau); negative noise is clamped to zero. SSSC artwork is used for reconstructed ring colour only, never opacity.
