Akari versus AKARI

The name of the satellite is written AKARI, not Akari. All ESA and JAXA communications capitalise the entire word, e.g. https://www.isas.jaxa.jp/en/missions/spacecraft/past/akari.html and https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/akari . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.146.244 (talk) 16:10, 9 June 2023 (UTC) This probably means it would be better for this wikipedia page to be AKARI not Akari. Perhaps someone more used to Wikipedia editing than me could action that please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.146.244 (talk) 16:13, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Akari あかり in English

revision 10:31, October 28, 2006, by LordAmeth (光 - hikari, light　明かり - akari, brightness)

Akari (あかり), which means "brightness" in Japanese.

I think brightness is 「明るさ」. 「明かり」 is illumination or light. --Fukumoto 12:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it would seem we're both right. 明かり(P); 明り(P) 【あかり】 (n) lamplight; light (in general); brightness; [1]. I should've looked it up before making assumptions. LordAmeth 18:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I failed to find a sample usage of あかり as brightness in the linked page (Jim Breen's JDIC). A paper dictionary at hand (Obunsha's Essential Japanese-English Dictionary) doesn't have brightness under akari entry. Japanese/English dictionaries available on Yahoo! Japan [2] doesn't have brightness in trananslation. I suspect it is JDIC's error. --Fukumoto 18:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added "light" to that sentence. Shinkansen Fan (talk) 13:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can we have detail on the instruments/sensors and IR frequency bands

Can we have detail on the instruments/sensors and IR frequency bands ? Confirm what was still usable after the helium coolant ran out. How many kg of He at start ? - Rod57 (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
