I think we should change this article to Vulcan (astronomy) -- since neither of the two Vulcan's in question are really planets. --Ed Poor
Corrected the paragraph on the perihelion precession of Mercury. Classical perturbation theory was completely capable of predicting the advance itself. The famous 43 arc seconds is the difference between the observed value and the predicted value, and is a high order anomaly. -- Decumanus | Talk 21:54, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vulcan revived section
The first paragraph of this section seems fairly important, as to why it is hard to look at the Sun - should it be nearer the top of the article? Orange Goblin 07:46, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Star Trek and Vulcan
IIRC in the episode of the original series where a spaceman from the late 20th century ends up on the Enterprise, he asks Mr Spock if the latter comes from Vulcan-near-the-Sun. A passing mention of this passing mention could be included here.

[edit] General Relativity
"This hypothesis has now been rendered obsolete by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity."
General Relativity is a theory,not a fact,it has not been proven,so can the hypothesis be rendered obsolete? Dudtz 10/5/06 7:24 PM EST
- that is beyond silly for too many reasons to list. --Deglr6328 10:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SOHO
Shouldn't something be said of the virtual absolute impossibility of vulcan since the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory observations of the past decade have seen nothing in the way of stable orbits inside Mercury's?--Deglr6328 10:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
