Talk:Red edge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article really needs an illustration. I've sent an inquiry off to one of the NASA webmasters to see if I can use an image I found on their site -- we'll see what happens. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 04:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

You usually don't need permission for NASA pictures (see for example : Image:Mercury_3.jpg right here in wikipedia). Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 18:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

If you already knew then great (and I was useless, but checking). Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 18:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I knew, but... it's that "usually". In this case, I couldn't tell if the graphic was done by NASA or one of their commercial partners. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 15:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

This phenomenon is more commonly known as the "red drop effect", especially outside of astrobiology. I think it would be useful to include some information about the experiments leading up to its establishment as a known principle. Also useful to include is the relationship of this to the discovery of two photosystems in plants. I'll look into this and come back with some concrete material to add. --Taingalls (talk) 19:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

That would be excellent, Taingalls. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 21:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
