Structure
A series of infobox templates have been designed for all types of astronomical objects. Details can be found here.
Projects
A list of the most important astronomical object topics is maintained at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Astronomical_objects/Worklist. Please work on bringing these articles up to good or featured standards! The standards required are given at Wikipedia:What is a featured article? and Wikipedia:What is a good article?.
You can also join the Astronomy Collaboration of the Week. Each week, an article from either the Worklist or another astronomy-related article, is nominated and selected to be the collaboration of the week. This article is then improved by participating wikipedians to at least good-article or featured-article status.
Templates
Astronomical object articles need an infobox to show basic data about them. A complete list of the templates to be used is at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Astronomical_objects/Infoboxes.
When filling in scientific data, you may find the following templates useful:
- {{±|pos|neg}} which produces: +pos
−neg used thus: 500 +35
−22 km. (Avoid using it in a link, though: it looks bad) - {{e|n}} which produces: ×10n used thus: 5.97{{e|24}} kg, which gives 5.97×1024 kg.
Other useful templates:
- {{astro-stub}}

Newest astronomical object articles
Please feel free to list your new Astronomical objects-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the main page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.
