A fact from Laser Ranging Retroreflector appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 July 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that scientists shooting lasers at a mirror on the Moon(pictured) discovered that
their telescope was not where it should be?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
QPQ done, article is long enough, 5x expanded, and well cited. No copyvio detected. Hook is interesting and in-line cited in text. I can't seem to access the link you've put there, but I've found the article
on jstor and verified it. I think the sentence with the hook is incorrectly written or grammatically incorrect though? The cause of this what the Lick Telescopes recorded location on earth was incorrect by approximate 25 meters. should be fixed. In addition, per
WP:DYKIMG, The first hook should be modified to include (pictured) in the appropriate place to make the connection to the image. :3

Freedom4U: Sentence fixed in the article, and I think ALT2 would address
WP:DYKIMG. I've tightened the end of the hook to keep the length down. Seddontalk 23:36, 12 July 2023 (UTC)reply

Seddon: Approving ALT2. I do suggest that the wikilink could be expanded so that it says "...lasers at a mirror on the moon(pictured) discovered..." :3
