Talk:Solar System

"Heimdall"?

Surfing through the various language versions of "Solar System" and their discussions, I've found out that there is a certain uncertainty whether "Solar system" means anyone of them or just ours. My question: Has there been a discussion on this theme yet; and if not, would the term "Heimdall" for our "home world" be acceptable? Hellsepp 18:16, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Heimdall is a crater on Callisto and Mars. Ruslik_Zero 18:18, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, only our solar system contains the parent star Sol as the primary body. Thus only our solar system is a solar system.

Anything else is a planetary system.Carultch (talk) 09:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Somewhat late: Thank you! Hellsepp

Edit request from 87.79.173.91, 11 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Please remove the link [[Universe#Evolution|universe's evolution]] and replace it with simply "Universe's evolution". As seen above, it doesn't work, and not everything needs its own link.

Dark Matter as an Ocean and everything is inside it.

Greetings, health, peace of mind, happiness and the wisdom of the ages to one and all. I am fascinated by all these magnificent discoveries of the Solar System and it's origin. I have been wondering a while about Dark Matter. In my minds eye see how Dark matter could possibly be mass of microcosmic particles, infinitely small, that holds matter and all the elements that make up the stars and planets from quickly falling apart.

Dark matter could be anything at the moment. Until we find some evidence it might as well be cosmic teapots. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to register below galactic level. Serendi^podous 14:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Artist's rendering of the Oort Cloud, the Hills Cloud, and the Kuiper belt (inset)

Is this an oblique angle view or do they actually revolve in ovals? I think the distinction deserves mention. Richard LaBorde (talk) 23:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

What about that rendering? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.179.206.243 (talk) 16:26, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

This article is one of a small number (about 100) selected for the first week of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.

However with only a few hours to go, comments have only been made on two of the pages.

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.
