Image:Milky Way IR Spitzer.jpg, featured[edit]
Info False-color (Wavelength: 3.6 microns (blue), 4.5 microns (green), 5.8 microns (orange), 8.0 microns (red)) photograph of Milky Way core regions in IR created by NASA (Spitzer Space Telescope) - uploaded and nominated by Winiar✉ 19:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Support --Winiar✉ 19:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)- Support Pretty soon we'll have every NASA photo as a FP. This one does "speak to me", in a manner of speaking. -- Ram-Man 23:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Oppose It's beautiful, but we cannot FP every NASA photo solely because it has massive resolution and a subject that piques everyone's curiosity and impression of beauty. As I see it: it does not really assert a significant subject as compared to other NASA photos. --Thisisbossi 02:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've made that argument for other images. However, in this case I think there is good reason to support. First of all, there are no other Astronomy FPs that show in this kind of detail how many stars are out there. this image is similar in this purpose, but IMO is of inferior quality. this image from Spitzer is also of inferior quality, though arguably a better subject. This IR type image is quite nice and educationally speaking it is useful to show how IR can "see" things that visible light can't. -- Ram-Man 02:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think it'd be handy if another version could be linked from this image's description page, with that version showing the same viewpoint but in visible color for comparison (provided such an image exists). --Thisisbossi 12:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

- Support. Question - should we consider this as a replacement for Image:Nord america.jpg? That is, should we propose unfeaturing it? Ben Aveling 13:00, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
