•  Info created by IMAGE: NASA, ESA, CSA, Danny Milisavljevic (Purdue University), Tea Temim (Princeton University), Ilse De Looze (UGent); IMAGE PROCESSING: Joseph DePasquale (STScI) - nominated by Habitator terrae -- Habitator terrae 🌍 12:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Comment a well known comparetivly recent supernova remnant in mid infrared.
•  Support -- Habitator terrae 🌍 12:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I was waiting for something like this to be nominated. --SHB2000 (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
• This might be a stupid question, but why didn't they just... rotate it to fit the frame? Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:38, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

• According to the other versions of this image, they aim to set the North at the top. The missing surface is still not very elegant in this orientation -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Due to the awkward orientation, it is not one of the best images of astronomy in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Question Was the picture frame for this originally a rhomboid? If so, can that picture frame be restored so that we don't see all that blackness? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

  What means "originally"? the raw data is unfortunately not yet aviable. Habitator terrae 🌍 17:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

  Understood. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:33, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

  @Ikan Kekek: But after looking a bit deeper in the metadata of the raw data (that itself will become publicly aviable in August), it seems, that in fact the orientation of the raw data differs from the orientation of the image as (as suggested) it was changed for the north-south orientation.

•  Oppose per Basile. Looks like one of those alien computers on the original Star Trek. I'd consider supporting if that's what it were supposed to be, but it's not. Daniel Case (talk) 18:42, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

  Only my opinion: It seems to be much more informative than "one of those alien computers on the original Star Trek", as this is a real mid-infrared image of one of the most recent (the supernova could be seen from earth in 1667) and near (10,000 lj) supernova remnants.

•  Oppose per Basile Morin. -- Karelj (talk) 10:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support:This is a really cool image, like looking at the universe on the roof of a room through a skylight. Leave a lot to the imagination.GAOPEIYUN (talk) 07:36, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
