Eric Williams | 64 comments I tried adding the following quote:

From time to time, there are press accounts of astronomers seeing the birth of a new star. This leaves the impressions that astronomers saw a star that wasn't there last year, but this isn't what is happening at all. Rather, astronomers sometimes discover stars among clouds of gas and dust. These stars have certain properties that most astronomers think young stars ought to have, and, given their location in regions that many astronomers view as stellar nurseries, they interpret these stars as being newly born, say in the past few million years. The process of star formation is supposed to be very slow compared to human lifetimes, so no one has ever claimed to have seen a star being born.

Instead of it "going through", I got the message "1 error prohibited this quote from being saved:" but it didn't actually give a reason, just "Please try again later." This sort of thing has been happening over and over again for the last couple months: It won't actually save the quote but also won't give a reason for not saving it. Sometimes when I tried some time later to save it, the quote might (but not always) get saved.

Can someone else try to save this particular quote?
