A38815266 - Constellations: Dorado - the Dorado fish

pageturner

I think this Entry is set out well. I like the use of a quotation at the beginning and like how you end with similar things linked to the same name. My dificulty with these Enries though is that I don't actually understand constellations and thus it's difficult for me to tell you how you may improve or expand. I can see that it reads well though.

If you don't understand constellations, Opti, that means we haven't been explaining it right. Have you read the overview of constellations at A32252348 ?

Bel, I've thought about your concerns about the phrase "supernova explosion". You're right - I've changed them all.

one small quibble>
In metric system Mega is capitalized so
mega-light years = Mega light years.

Sorry, shagbark, but that is not correct. The correct abbreviation for mega is a capital M, but mega itself does not have to have a capital M. It is treated like any other word - capital at the start of a sentence, lowercase elsewhere.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

He's getting good at this

Yay!

well done.

Woohoo!

working on sub-editing this.

Can you really say a constellation was *invented*? Seems, well, odd to me.

Yes, you can. But the phrase didn't sound right to you, B'Elana or BigAl. In the Telescopium entry, I changed it from "invented " to "first imagined". That might work here, too.

"Discovered" didn't sound right either. It's much like the discovery/invention of 0 I'll give it a think...
