Did AI directly observe every region in the ultraviolet sky map?
No. The described project combined public ultraviolet surveys and cross-calibrated them, while estimating some unobserved regions statistically. A complete visualization can include inferred areas, but those areas are not new telescope measurements. Observation, calibration and inference should remain distinct throughout the map.
