Templates
Astronomical object articles need an infobox to show basic data about them. A complete list of the templates to be used is at WikiProject Astronomical objects/Infoboxes.

When filling in scientific data, you may find the following templates useful:
 * which produces: $$ used thus: 500 $$ km. (Avoid using it in a link, though: it looks bad)
 * which produces:  used thus:  5.97 kg , which gives 5.97×1024 kg.

The DEC and RA templates have been improved to allow the omission of the third argument to result in a less precise location that is useful in the case of galaxy groups. For example:
 * which produces: degrees°minutes′ used thus: 23°47′.
 * which produces: hours:minutes:0 used thus: <tt>12:17:0</tt>.
