  • Oppose I believe this pic is copyright and permission has to be sought to use it. Has this been obtained? Have a look at the source (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021021.html) where the important words are Credit and Copyright:Robert Gendler That does not sound like PD!

  • Support if copyright status is cleared. Fantastic image. --Fir0002 08:52, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Many galaxies are beautiful, but this I don't think is anymore special than any other. A picture I believe is less ordinary, and which I suggest we promote instead, is the Sombrero Galaxy. That one is also available as JPEG or TIFF, both in a gigantic resolution (11472×6429), creating a whole little world to explore. Jonas Olson 10:53, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Jonas Olson --Bricktop 23:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Although we all tend to say wow to pictures of galaxies, I would think that a picture needs to have something special to get it approved. Enochlau 12:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. This image definitely has copyright problems. It is originally from Wikimedia Commons at this link which also has a copyright violation notice posted as of 24 April 2005. CoyneT talk 01:03, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
