# The Evidence Files

Exhibits in the case against the sky: a running catalogue of the firmament's glitches and a leaked maintenance memo, filed for your inspection. Read the tickets, check the seams, and see how well the backdrop holds up.

The [field brief](https://theskyisnotreal.com/) lays out the theory; this is where we keep the receipts. Three exhibits so far: a catalogue of the sky's supposed "glitches," a leaked "maintenance memo" from **Big Sky** (the outfit we blame for the whole backdrop), and a dossier of everyday "tells." Where an exhibit points at something real (sunsets, clouds, the moon, eclipses), we follow it with the actual, far more interesting explanation.

**[Known Sky-Rendering Glitches](https://theskyisnotreal.com/evidence/glitches)** A bug tracker for the firmament: z-fighting sunsets, clouds that "pop in," a moon reused across every time zone. Filed as evidence, explained as physics.

**[Firmament Maintenance Memo (Leaked)](https://theskyisnotreal.com/evidence/memo)** An "internal" memo about scheduled sky downtime, aurora deployments, and eclipse rollbacks. Entirely fictional. Reassuringly, real astronomy already explains every line.

**[Six Things They Don't Want You to Notice](https://theskyisnotreal.com/evidence/dossier)** The blue that never changes, clouds that "load in," a sun that follows you. Six everyday tells, each answered with the real, more interesting science.
