Pause, compare, wander

Each stop opens a paused Time Machine snapshot with a question to explore. Move the date, choose another body, or visit a lesson; you can return to the stop whenever you like.

These journeys explain observations and coordinate conventions. Astrological interpretations live in separately labelled lesson sections.
