Apparently nonsensical summary of her work edit

Quote: "The fact that the brightness of the Sun has not increased since its formation, 4.5 billion years ago, revealed that it was much brighter and warmer in the past." This does not appear to make sense as it is self contradictory - was the sun brighter in the past or not? There is also no reference provided for this statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:A12B:8591:8D03:E86B:9892:C240 (talk) 00:57, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply


Ditto. What is the source, and should it say that the sun has decreased in brightness (rather than not increased)? Wikiuser8745448 (talk) 03:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, that quote is almost certainly wrong; it may actually be precisely the reverse of how it is stated. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faint_young_Sun_paradox — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.145.148.240 (talk) 18:55, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Google Doodle (20 July 2020) edit

Just what I was going to say - Google's Doodle links to this page today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.110.17 (talk) 01:32, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

would be great to include the relevance of July 20 to the doodle. It's not the date of her birth or death (common for doodles). DONAL HUNT (talk) 06:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
The Google Doodle honors Dilhan Eryurt, Apollo 11 astronomer article by 9to5Google provides some insight. May be worthy of inclusion in the entry. DONAL HUNT (talk) 06:50, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation of name edit

This article could use some IPA in the lead. Eman235/talk 22:42, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes that would be useful. I wonder why her last name is not the same as her father's last name. The Turkish name article in Wikipedia indicates that Ataturk set a requirement for surnames in 1934, and she was born before that. It appears she never married, as the one obituary article written at the time of her death says she left behind her body of scientific work. No family members are mentioned. --Prairieplant (talk) 23:43, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Her first husband's name was Turgut. Her name was Dilhan Eser. When her first husband passed away she married Mr. Eryurt who was a member of Turkish Assembly. Haltugal (talk) 00:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
