Talk:Great Comet of 1577

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I think space is cool. Astronomical events depicted as divine interventions or omens in history has intrigued me. It's a start class article.

Evaluate the article
The introduction provides a great concise detailing of what the comet it and how it was recorded but does not note on it's impact despite that being a rather significant section at the end of the article.

The article speaks a great deal of the comet's traversal over Europe. There is but a few short sentences talking about the comet in other parts of the world. Perhaps there is more data out there from other places around the world that could fit in this article.

The article states "the comet is currently about 324 AU". This is a great detail to add, however, when was that last updated? Is someone updating this article every so often to increase that value?

There is a reference to a "Jiri Daschitzky", a page that does not exist.

The depiction of the comet in art seems weirdly spread out across two sections. The observations section has references to art from other cultures, and so does the 'In Art and Literature' section.

There is a massive quote that is about the same length as the rest of the section in the 'In Art and Literature' section. This seems a bit much. A summary could perhaps be beneficial.

The sentence following that quote feels a bit strongly worded to the point of bias.

References to other great comets of history seem like they would be a relevant an helpful addition to this article.
