Index.

Every Bright discovery, plainly: 215 records with their evidence state, the date the source was published, the date Bright added it, and where it sits on the physical scale. The 14 scales on the front page are a curated edition drawn from this list.

10 of 215 records, sorted by scale (ascending). Scale is approximate: the size of the subject itself, or of the setting where the work happens. Records with no honest physical size are off the axis.
