NGC 5585

(

... ~~that the spiral galaxy NGC 5585 (pictured) has a supernova remnant that is more than 650 light-years across?~~

Created by Thingg (talk). Self nominated at 16:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC).

Good to go. New enough (created 22 Mar 2013). Long enough (1,800 characters). Neutral, well sourced with no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Image license is acceptable; shows moderately well at 100x100. Hook is hooky and supported by text and sources. QPQ not needed; no prior DYK noms by Thingg were found.

Small niggle about the last word in the original hook. The word across is imprecise, implying a round or spherical object. The SNR is an oblong shell, approx 200x90 parsecs (~650x300 ly). I leave to choice of hook to whomever promotes but I suggest a slightly longer but more descriptive hook:

ALT1... that spiral galaxy NGC 5585 (pictured) contains a supernova remnant that is over 650 light-years long, 300 light-years wide and still expanding?

I definitely like the alternate hook better. Thanks for the suggestion. :) Thingg^⊕^⊗ 21:15, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

OK to go with alternate hook. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·cont) Join WER 23:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
