Ambiguity[edit]

Loose language needs clarification. Reads: "The sites Sgr B2(M) and Sgr B2(N) are sites of massive star formation." Meaning formation of massive stars, or sites of intense (prolific) star formation?

The latter, although not necessarily excluding the former. Yes, prolific would perhaps be a better word choice. Regards, RJH (talk) 02:58, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
