Talk:Abell 1835 IR1916

date of discovery[edit]

Naming[edit]

'also simply called Abell 1835' - is that correct? Abell 1835 is actually the name of the foreground galaxy cluster which is lensing the image of Abell 1835 IR1916. At a redshift of z=10, Abell 1835 IR1916 isn't part of the same cluster and it would be misleading to call it just Abell 1835 except as a lazy shorthand amongst the particular astronomers studying it. -- Solipsist 14:57, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It is also true, that it is also simply called Abell 1835, because of sloppy media shorthand, and slothful astronomer shorthand. 132.205.15.4 19:13, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What is it (not)?[edit]

There's talk about 'debunking' here, but what exactly remains after the debunking is unclear. Is this a real galaxy, but not as far away as thought, is it some other kind of object, or is it nothing at all really, just some accidental speck on a photographic plate? - Andre Engels 15:25, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Kardashev scale[edit]

I added the link to the Kardashev scale for the IndianDaily article, with that in mind ("Fictional civilizations") I think the article is clearly false, perhaps it should not appear on the page at all. Belgianatheist (talk) 10:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems someone removed the text you added without any comment whatsoever. While it certainly wasn't written in an encyclopedic way, I don't think it should have been removed entirely. 213.89.222.42 (talk) 16:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the whole text, just the Kardashev scale, it is probably best that the whole section is removed as it clearly has nothing to do with science. Belgianatheist (talk) 14:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
