Talk:NGC 6302

Referencing the citations needed notations
I don't have access to the Nature article where it speculates the first discovery of extrasolar carbonates: "The detection of carbonates in NGC 6302 was made by Ciska Kempers, of the University of Amsterdam, and was published in 2002 in Nature, 415, 295." (nor am I willing to purchase access to the article to satisfy wikipedia's citation needed notations.

The findings and refutation are reported on here: http://www.astrobio.net/exclusive/290/looking-for-carbonates-in-dry-places  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyrroc (talk • contribs) 02:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Spacetime anomaly?
Hello all concerned! Perhaps some clarification is required, or I'm just being stupid... if we have observed a 'prominent northwest lobe', how could it be calculated to have formed 'around 1,900 years ago' if its distance from us is 3400 ± 500 light years?

Kind regards Ianactually (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
