Hi Tim and Wikidatans, 

Great and thanks. I noticed in your data a number of references to space (e.g. spacecraft, etc), but am wondering if geo coordinates in Wikidata,  are anticipating space and the galaxies in any way?

It what ways now would it be possible to interface with, for example, the new astrophysics modeling software, Illustris?  See this MIT / Harvard project ...

http://www.illustris-project.org/

Are there any current examples of non-earth Wikidata and Wikipedia-coordinates, for example?

Cheers, 
Scott

Hello GerardM, all entries have a Wikidata-ID.
So someone could start a bot...
Greetings Tim
