 * Symbol question.svg New article, nominated in time; meets the minimum length; appears neutral and generally well cited; no plagiarism detected by Earwig. QPQ done. Interesting short hook supported by a reliable source. My only comment is that the "In literature" section needs a citation for the widely seen by non-astronomers comment.
