Was there another (younger) Molesworth than Percy B. Molesworth?

Valdemar Axel Firsoff's wonderful book The Old Moon and the New (1969) has, on page 185, a description of a telescopic observation performed by a certain Joulia (a reddish glow in lunar crater Aristarchus) on the 22nd of February 1931. In the same year (1931), Goodacre and Molesworth observed a bluish 'glare'. Now, which one of the Molesworths was this? Percy B. Molesworth was born in 1867 and died in 1908. He can't be the one because the observation of the bluish 'glare' happened in 1931. Is there perhaps an error in V.A.Firsoff's book? And who was Joulia?

Tweedledee and Tweedledum

I just noticed you were the most recent author on an article about Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and seem to have forgotten about the Live-Action Alice In Wonderland with Johnny Depp. 2600:387:C:6F10:0:0:0:7 (talk) 00:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, I am an amateur astronomer, and I only know of a certain double star system called Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Somebody else who knows a lot about movies could write something about the movie you have in mind, or perhaps YOU could write something! DannyCaes (talk) 13:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

List of pareidolia in astronomy, biology, and geology moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of pareidolia in astronomy, biology, and geology, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

It's an experiment. I thought: What would happen if such a huge (gradually expanding) list of astronomical pareidolia has (some sort of) place in Wikipedia? Could such a list be accepted? Perhaps... other (much more astronomy-related) Wikipedians come up with reliable, independent sources. Who knows. DannyCaes (talk) 17:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

There are many, many, flowers named after what they look like - see Ophrys apifera known as Bee Orchid, Orchis anthropophora Man Orchid, and lots more orchids; the navelworts in Umbilicus (plant); Harestail grass and Trifolium arvense Haresfoot clover ... the list goes on and on. Look at any decent book of wild flowers for English names, but in many cases the latin name is also related to what it looks like. And see, for example, List of taxa named after human genitals!

Interesting material to create a new list! (Pareidolia in Flowers). I must say, I know almost nothing about flowers, which means, this could be the start of a new hobby! (the expanding alphabetic list of flowers which show pareidolia). Creating alphabetic and numerological lists and gazetteers, and/or catalogs, is my hobby. DannyCaes (talk) 16:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Not to mention my local speciality Lady's Slipper. There must be thousands. Have fun. PamD 17:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

That's new! Never heard of this before! According to the Dutch Wikipedia it seems to be known as vrouwenschoentje (woman's little shoe). Thanks! DannyCaes (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC) (in the Flemish speaking northern section of Belgium).

The star known as 2MASS J18082002−5104378

Well it's a rather common name, much more common than Reese's Star. This name (Reese's Star) seems to be that star's "alternate" name (see article 2MASS J18082002−5104378). O.K., but... who is or was Reese? Could somebody of the astronomy'esque Wikipedians tell us more about Reese of the name Reese's Star? DannyCaes (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

List of astronomical objects beyond the solar system

Hello DannyCaes. I had to add an entry to the List of astronomical catalogues today (OCL, a catalogue for open clusters seds gave me when I searched the observation data on NGC 1193 for the article I'm putting together) and I was quite happy to see how well cared for that list is. When I clicked on history your good name came up, along with your extensive contribution to that article. Naturally I had to check your user page and for my benefit I stumbled upon your 'astronomical objects beyond the solar system' list. What a nice project! I just want to say I'll be enthusiastically following your progress from now on. I think AOBSSC might be too scary, even for an acronym, so I guess I'll be calling it DCC 'DanyCaes Catalogue' for now. :D

And thank you for your work on the list of astronomical catalogues, your effort is not lost on this editor.

Take care! Galaxyfriend (talk) 20:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Galaxyfriend! As you probably have noticed, my Alphabetic list of named astronomical objects beyond the solar system is far from complete. Every now and then I try to work on it (I don't have much time, because I work in morning and evening shift system at a car constructing plant in my hometown Ghent-Belgium. The complete list of names is at my home, in (what I call) a cahier (a book to write in, with, imagine: a good old fashioned ballpoint pen and some thin color markers!), and also on small square shaped cards made of ultrathin cardboard, all collected in rather broad ring-maps (each one of those stiff cardboard maps has four U-shaped rings, which means: two piles of cards per map!).

P.S.: it's indeed interesting to see the OCL in the List of astronomical catalogues. Thanks a lot!

By the way, since the summer of 2023 I am a frequent visitor of ASTROBIN, because, I think, most of the new names and nicknames of discovered and photograped deepsky objects come from today's astrophotographers. They create revolutionary eye-pleasing images! DannyCaes (talk) 15:05, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
