Help with this template Comments: edit – history – watch – refresh Information for Nasa's web site, Astronomy Picture of the Day (Feb 15, 2007) http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070215.html states a temperature of 200,000 Kelvins. This Wiki states 200,000 Celsius. This is quite a large discrepancy.

[edit] Celsius versus kelvins

Information for Nasa's web site, Astronomy Picture of the Day (Feb 15, 2007) http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070215.html states a temperature of 200,000 Kelvins. This Wiki states 200,000 Celsius.

At that size, the two units mean the same thing, however kelvins is more correct as used in the literature. I have change the article to kelvins and cited apod. WilliamKF (talk) 23:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
