Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Sidney Hall - Urania's Mirror - Lynx and Telescopium Herschilii.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 12, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-03-12. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 23:37, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
The lead claims that the constellation was named after the genus of the cat. This assertion seems bogus, as the article Lynx claims the genus was created in 1792 by Kerr, whereas Hevelius only lived to 1687. -- Mark viking ( talk) 02:52, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Dear all:
In the photo labelled as "The constellation of Lynx as it can be seen by the naked eye" there are some lines that should show the constellation. But, according to the IAU chart, some lines are missing (and another is not correct) in spite of the fact that the corresponding stars can be seen in the photography.
I tried to annex the photo with some marks, but I do not know how to do it.
Best regards,
