Constellation #45

Submitting the fox for review

GB

I can offer http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/myspace/constellationguide/vulpecula.shtml for comparison

It’s a good entry GB.

I don’t know if you want to use it but I believe that there is a meteor shower associated with this constellation. It’s the Vulpeculids, occurring between 13 June to 7 July.

In the first data panel do you need ('fox'). with the header above it, it seems a bit unnecessary.

In the Asterism paragraph, Collinder 399 is almost universally known by its nickname ‘The Coathanger’. I think that that should take prominence in the paragraph and the ‘correct‘ names are secondary information.

Hope this helps

those except for 'fox' which belongs in the data table as it is the Latin translation (the Latin being in italics)

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it

A wee bit perhaps for your Popular Culture section. As featured regularly on the Chris Evans 'Drivetime' radio show around 6.00pm each evening, BBC Radio 2:

Song from The Court Jester

Outfox the Fox
Composer : Sammy Cahn, Sylvia Fine

Only the sharpest eye, the keenest nose,
the quickest ear and fleetest toes
can ever outfox the fox!
They'll never outfox the fox!

Added, thanks Deke

Blimey GB I'm blown away by your knowledge of Constellations.

I can't be of much help as I know very little about them but I wish you with it.

Just tell me you enjoyed reading it, and maybe learned something, and I am content

Oh I do like it.

That's excellent
Thank you very much

Have a look at the edited ones, (example: A32016377 ) do you like the navigational banner I'm making? Is it easy to understand?

Lovely Picture and the bar is great for navigational purposes as it is in alphabetical order. I've noticed a number of researchers doing similar entries on constellations et al so it appears its a collaboration with many star gazers.

Have a look at A29617824 - that's got all the artwork on one page!

yes, the project was started a long time ago but then abandoned - we've got a good system going now though. Thanks for letting me know about the bar, I'm adding to it each time a new constellation hits the FP. They have to be manually tweaked so are a Royal Pain in the bum but it's a labour of

GB

for the link

Gnomon et al are certainly great drawers

It's nice to be doing something you feel passionate about.

They're all Gnomon's starmaps,
The image on Pisces I found on another EGE (Divination A3094229) while doing some Curating (another coincidence) so I asked if I could use it for Pisces and got an from the Eds

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!

Well done Sadly this means updating your bar though

Thank you Opti

Nah, not till it's Editedand I told you, it's a labour of tweaking the bar. It's fantastic watching it grow

That's

I know

Aaaand it's off to the Eds. You'll have to tweak that bar soon
