New article is 1,590 characters long and nominated on the same day as first expansion. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. Hook is 136 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 7 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from NASA. QPQ done. Image is free and in public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
