Source notes

Aureole’s sources

When you ask it a question, Aureole goes to the source for the answer: a weather station’s reading, a law, a scientific article, a museum’s record. Each note tells you what you can ask a source, where its figures come from, and what it doesn’t cover.

The sources, side by side

What Aureole can read for you, source by source

Each row counts what Aureole can search to answer you, in the source’s own unit: so many scientific articles, so many weather stations, so many towns. The bar gives the order of magnitude; each name leads to its note, which tells you what you can ask it.
