Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it is too small (please check guidelines first) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:01, 24 May 2010 (UTC) | Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed. |
Info This picture of the Earth and Moon in a single frame was taken by the Galileo spacecraft from about 3.9 million miles away. Antarctica is visible through clouds (bottom). The Moon's far side is seen; the shadowy indentation in the dawn terminator is the south pole Aitken Basin, one of the largest and oldest lunar impact features. --LuisArmandoRasteletti (talk) 23:21, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Comment - Not being a FP does not diminish the value of the image though I'm convinced that Galileo cameras can do better than this in terms of resolution. If someone finds there are extraordinary circumstances mitigating the small size, a support vote can be used to remove the FPX template. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
It's also very blurry. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 23:43, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Oppose
Info - When a FPX template is active only a support vote is effective (it removes the template) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
