Talk:Canonical units

Hey I created this page because though I stumbled upon this term in my reading, a page for canonical units did not exist on wikipedia, to my surprise. I am by no means an expert in the field of astrodynamics or astronomy but I thought I could help introduce the page. I hope this page will be of some use to aspiring aerospace engineers

Apparent issue in the canonical triplet definition in the overview.

Hey all,

Just a quick spot of what I think might be an issue: on the page it refers to the following criterion for a canonical triplet:

Any triplet of numbers, $\,M\,,$ $\,{\text{[CDU]}}\,,$ and $\,{\text{[CDU]}}\,,$ that satisfy the equation above is a “canonical” set.

I think it's highly likely that the intended text in the overview would not refer to the canonical distance unit twice, so I am adjusting it to the following:

Any triplet of numbers, $\,M\,,$ $\,{\text{[CDU]}}\,,$ and $\,{\text{[CTU]}}\,,$ that satisfy the equation above is a “canonical” set.

If this wasn't an error, feel free to change it back (although I would be interested to learn what it actually is trying to say.)
