SIMBAD astronomical database goes offline
Original: Anyone know why the # SIMBAD astronomical database ( https:// simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/ ) is offline? So is the websit
The SIMBAD astronomical database, run by the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Centre in France, is offline, along with the website of the centre that operates it. Researchers asking about the outage note the double downtime leaves them unable to reach the operators directly, disrupting access to a widely used reference catalogue for astronomical objects.
Why now: Researchers rely on SIMBAD daily, so an unexplained outage affecting both the database and its operators' site is causing concern and questions.
