As of February 11, 2016, Peter Collingridge stated that Atlas will most likely never be available to the public. "From what I can tell Atlas has been retired, so (it) will never be possible to get." Despite this, the badge has not yet been marked as retired.

Despite this, it is now known that Atlas is not retired and is available.

Trivia[]

  • Atlas gives 200,000 energy points, the same amount of energy points as Da Vinci but users have to do much more to acquire it.
  • Currently, only Sal Khan and Ben Eater have obtained the older version of Atlas.
  • Two users have obtained the new version of this badge. It is unknown whether or not this user awarded themselves the badge or not.
  • The badge is named after Atlas - the primordial Titan who held up the sky in Greek mythology. He is also the titan of astronomy and navigation, and the titan general in the titan war.
  • Atlas used to only require 500 skills, but the skill requirement was increased once Khan Academy reached 500 skills. It was once thought that the requirement might be 1000 skills, however, several users have more than 1000 skills mastered and yet the badge has not been awarded.
    • It was thought that Atlas was continually updated to require mastery of more skills than available.
  • The badge is internally named "atlasmasterybadge".
