... ~~that a 1989 WHYY science show featured an unusually long signal delay?~~

Source: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-08-24-ca-1464-story.html "Traveling at the speed of light, the signals that make up those photographs will take four hours and six minutes to traverse the 2.7 billion miles separating Neptune and Earth."

Comment: @Sammi Brie: you're into TV stations, so you might find this interesting.

@RoySmith: You have pinged the right girl... WHYY-TV is one of my GAs! Double QPQ present. I made a couple of tweaks, one of which is a publication title worth repairing and the other adding a newspaper ref listing some of the panelists. Nothing looks out of place with text or copyvio or needing citations. I'm wondering about the hook, and I'm also wondering if labeling it WHYY is gonna scare viewers off. (Notice I almost never use call letters now?) I have a further question because "four hours, six minutes" isn't "six hours, four minutes" as in the article which also needs to be resolved. Perhaps some other rephrasing like... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:20, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

ALT1: ... ~~that pictures on a 1989 science TV show arrived after a signal delay of over (four/six) hours?~~

I fixed the time delay (thanks for catching that). I like keeping the hook shorter, so how about we just drop the station name:

ALT2: ... that a 1989 science show featured an unusually long signal delay?

Bottom?

@Praemonitus I don't usually worry about ratings, but I do think your "bottom" rating underestimates this topic. The description of bottom includes things like "junk" and "crank". This was either.

Okay. "Public education and outreach" gets a low rating. Thanks. Praemonitus (talk) 23:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
