Celestial

Sun, moon, stars and planets as subject matter. The Getty describes an exhibition that "explores the celestial realm in medieval European faith and science traditions", and a tattoo-education source names astronomy among the sciences rich in tattooable imagery. IMPORTANT LIMIT recorded rather than smoothed over: the tattoo source does not use the word 'celestial', and the Getty source is not about tattooing.

Provenance inherited from the parent row(s): source_inkppl_moon; source_getty_wondrous_cosmos; source_tattooing101_science_tattoos; the first is carried in source_id. No new fact: this edge restates a value already present in the corpus. STRENGTH 0.75 set by the T11.11c rule: this pairing is asserted by TWO parent rows, one from each endpoint's own association column; the pack's scale reads 0.75 as 'frequent'. Inputs are corpus counts only - no source count, tier or confidence is used.
