The Astronomy Workgroup will organize and coordinate efforts to create and improve articles relating to Astronomy. If you are interested in participating, you may add yourself to Category:Astronomy Authors, discuss issues on the Astronomy Workgroup Forum, or simply dive in and begin contributing. If you'd like to be an editor, please follow these instructions and then you may add yourself to Category:Astronomy Editors.
High priority articles
In the list of articles below, the existence of an approved version is indicated by underlining.
If you begin work on one of the articles from the list below, please be sure to add the article to the Astronomy Workgroup Top list (add [[Category:Astronomy Workgroup (Top)]] at the bottom of the article's page).
If you want to import one of these articles from Wikipedia, please read How to convert Wikipedia articles to Citizendium articles first. In particular, please do not import WP articles unless you plan or beginning work on them "within the hour" as the article says.
