Old talk

"Twentieth century Belgian astronomer Jean Meeus asserts that the orbits of all nine planets were within the same 90% arc of the solar system on 1 February 949. The next time it is thought this will occur is on 6 May 2492."

What is meant by "90% arc". Should this be 90 degree arc? A 90% arc would be most of the solar system and does not seem too rare.--35.8.153.13 19:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC) John French.[reply]

Agreed. I've done an edit, which includes changing the word "orbits" to "positions". If all the planets lined up within 9 (nine) degrees of each other, it would be an interesting sight, so I similarly don't understand what the fuss was about. EatYerGreens 15:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in 10th century

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 10th century's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "end":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 11:53, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
