Primary first
For missions, we begin with the agency or instrument responsible for the work. We link to that material whenever possible.
SOURCES & METHOD
Evidence has
a provenance.
Every statement deserves a path back to the material that supports it. LUME GRAVITY separates direct measurement, scientific interpretation and its own editorial visualisations.
Language matters
“Measured”, “inferred”, “modelled” and “unknown” are not interchangeable. The wording preserves the strength of the evidence.
Credit travels with the work
When we share official imagery or audiovisual material, the source, authoring agency and relevant terms stay close to it.
Corrections and updates
We review and update our content as new information becomes available.

ORIGINAL AND SHARED MATERIAL
Our visualisations are clearly marked as editorial interpretations. Official images and audiovisual material remain recognisable as such, with their source and context never separated from the work.
