New article, nominated in time; meets the minimum length; appears neutral and generally well cited; no plagiarism detected by Earwig. QPQ done. Interesting short hook supported by a reliable source. My only comment is that the "In literature" section needs a citation for the widely seen by non-astronomers comment. Espresso Addict (talk) 17:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Espresso Addict: Thanks. I've added a reference to Kronk that supports the comment and gives several other examples. Zeete (talk) 18:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks. Looks good to go. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
