About CosmicFacts

CosmicFacts is a compact educational project designed for readers who want clear, approachable astronomy explainers without heavy jargon. The site uses a retro arcade visual language to make browsing fun, but the writing stays practical and grounded in mainstream scientific interpretation.

The core idea is simple: provide short-to-medium fact guides that explain what a value means, how scientists estimate it, and why uncertainty is normal. Space data changes as instruments improve, so each page frames numbers as approximate ranges rather than absolute claims.

The project is intentionally static and lightweight. It works offline through plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with no external libraries, no remote fonts, and no image dependencies. That makes the site reliable on low-bandwidth connections, classrooms, and archived local copies.

If you are using this resource for study, treat it as a primer. It is excellent for orientation, vocabulary, and conceptual scaffolding, then you can move to technical papers or mission archives for deeper detail.
