Dividing "mythology" subsection to a "In culture" section at the end

Currently we have "mythology" inside "Etymology", which makes sense for English, but not overall. I think that it would be better if we add a "In culture" section at the end, as it happens with planets, where mythology could be included. I can proceed with this, but I would like to hear more opinions. Theklan (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the spelling error is in reference 21, not 22. Change "Lausten" into "Laustsen". I could not figure out how to edit my previous request. AstroOgier (talk) 12:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that the bright sky in summer "can obscure" the Milky Way in Scandinavia and Northern Europe is funny. The sky does not become dark at all in the summer months, and Milky Way (like almost all stars in the night sky) is not visible in summer. 88.148.150.166 (talk) 17:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Attach hyperlinks for “voids” and “super clusters” to their respective articles Baschaa (talk) 19:22, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I added a link to Void (astronomy) and there is already a link to supercluster. cyberdog958^Talk 11:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
