Created by OtterAM (talk). Self nominated at 19:19, 23 February 2015 (UTC).

• Created February 20, 3080 characters, and within policy. Hooks are 90 and 129 characters respectively, supported by Astrophysical Journal. Image is PD. Everything looks good to go. hinnk (talk) 07:29, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

• The paragraph under In culture lacks a cite, per DYK rules. It's also not clear to me where the inline cites are for each hook. Yoninah (talk) 19:45, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• The paragraph in question is a plot summary, which doesn't fall under the per-paragraph rule of thumb for citations. The hook comes from the intro, which is a summary of the first paragraph of the "Star formation" section. (Each sentence there has an inline citation.) hinnk (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, I don't understand how a trivia section falls under plot summary. This really needs to be cited.
• Regarding the inline cites, the first hook fact claims "several star-forming regions", but only one is cited in the lead. The cite for the second hook needs to go right after the sentence in question, not at the end of the paragraph. Yoninah (talk) 21:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• It's a summary of the setting of a short story. That seems to fit the letter and spirit of the rule, and it's not something whose verifiability is ever likely to be challenged.
• Fair enough, I was checking the citations on the "Star formation" section itself. I've gone ahead and copied those into the intro sentence. hinnk (talk) 04:22, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you. I added a cite to the In culture section. The first hook ref is AGF and cited inline. I don't see an inline cite for the ALT1 hook, so I struck it. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 09:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
