Comment: I'm not really a creator of this article, I just reviewed it and added a few potential references that could help expand it in the future. Anyway, hope the firework gets the picture slot! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 17:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A new article that is barely long enough. The hook is interesting so is the galaxy's shape. QPQ unrequired and there are no copyright issues with the online sources. However, there are sourcing issues. The lead includes multiple statements that are not present in the body of the article or that the source that is supposed to cite them doesn't mention them.

It has an elongated and flattened shape, with a maximum diameter that extends for approximately 2,700 light years.
The new stars are distributed in about ten groups and have a mass corresponding to about one million solar masses.
The starburst is believed to have begun approximately one million years ago following the galaxies' encounter with a filament of intergalactic gas.

After that, the following statements lack an inline source:

"It has also been informally called the Rocket Galaxy or the Firework Galaxy due to its "trail" structure and brightness at the head."
"The Skyrocket Galaxy was discovered in 2004 using the Hubble Space Telescope, and was further observed in February and July of 2015 with the Wide Field Camera 3. Further research is ongoing by the European Space Agency."

Additionally, and not part of the DYK review, the article should probably be called Kiso 5639 instead since "Skyrocket Galaxy" is just a nickname and the present sources prefer the former, including NASA. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 07:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
