Hi All

I've been growing in affection for the term NQ2 (I think originally coined by acdw) as another way to refer to the virtual space that is the gemisphere/gemspace/geminispace/geminiverse/etc. And the wikipedia page for Gemini, says it is in NQ2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(constellation)

I was then curious to see what is the definition of a galactic quadrant which led me to the wikipedia page about those. And on that page, it shows Gemini being in NGQ3 (NGQ3 - North Galactic Quadrant 3), together with a diagram which seems to indicate it clearly.

Could it be the shocking truth one of these pages on wikipedia is wrong? Also its not unknown for my understanding to be deeply flawed. I'm inclined to go with the page about galactic quadrants as it has a diagram, but to be honest if anyone has expertise in this area, it would be great to clear this up, so normal service can continue.

Best wishes
