- ... that (523764) 2014 WC510 (pictured) is a binary trans-Neptunian object that only orbits Earth's sun once every 245.8 years?

- Nominated less than a day after creation, more than enough prose content, neutral and a bunch of good sources. The hook is short and interesting. QPQ is done. The image is relevant and free (released/uploaded by the artist). However, I'm not sure how to read the source for the hook. I see various number values but no 246.8. Instead I find the sidereal orbital period listed as 245.77 years, which also is what the article's infobox says. What's going on and how do I confirm the value in the hook?

- @Ffranc: The orbital period depends on the source, though I am unable to find the source to 246.8 years. For consistency, it would be better if the hook uses the approximate actual value of 245.8 years from the article. Nrco0e (talk · contribs) 19:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Artist's impression image misleading?[edit]
That artist's impression gives the impression the that difference in diameter between the two component objects of 2014 WC510 (assuming the larger object is generally spherical) is a factor of ~5, while actual measurements differ by a factor of ~1.3 (180km/140km). The image is misleading. Jyg (talk) 15:40, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
