Phenomena Atlas

Nature runs on a schedule.

Scallop zones open in sequence. Foliage moves south a county a day. Meteor showers keep appointments years out. The Atlas tracks the calendar of the wild — every date cited to the agency that set it — and parks a rentable basecamp next to each one.

Countdowns are date math on the official calendar, run in your browser. Nothing here pretends to be a feed it isn't.

Wild stays wild

Animals and auroras get probability language, never sighting promises — and dormant seasons say dormant, plainly.
