SIMBAD astronomical database outage, Harvard mirror available
Original: While the official # SIMBAD database in France is offline, you can access the same data via the Harvard mirror: https://
The SIMBAD stellar database, maintained in France, is currently offline, leaving astronomers and researchers without access to one of the field's key reference tools. The same dataset can still be reached through a mirror hosted by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the United States, which users are sharing as a workaround while the outage continues.
Why now: Researchers who depend on SIMBAD for astronomical reference data need a working alternative during the outage.
