Compute where any asteroid or comet is in the sky and whether you can see it. Give a body (designation/number/name, e.g. "433 Eros", "Ceres", "2024 YR4") and optionally your lat/lon and a time (ISO, default now). Returns the body's identity (NEO/PHA flags, orbit class, absolute magnitude H), its geocentric right ascension + declination, the constellation it's in, geocentric + heliocentric distance (AU), solar phase angle, and its apparent visual magnitude (IAU H-G model — how bright it appears now). With lat/lon it adds altitude/azimuth, whether it's above your horizon, a visible-now flag (up AND sky dark), and the best viewing window in the next 24 hours (when it's highest during darkness). Orbital position is computed locally from JPL elements — VALIDATED against JPL Horizons to <0.1 arc

- Live 402 quote confirmed
GET returned a protocol-valid 402 quote (402). No payment was made.

The registry record was observed and retained with provenance.
- Observed in 402-index
Discovered through bazaar.
- Registry record checked
Registry health: healthy.
EVIDENCE
Each record has an exact-route quote outcome. Unresolved templates and potentially mutating methods are labeled instead of being invoked without provider-specific test input. A quote is still separate from a settled paid call.
