Support While I realise that the 1024x1024 resolution is less than usual for Features Pictures, I believe that "strong mitigating reasons" clearly apply in this case: we are limited by the performances that a space-born instrument can provide. I see this image as featuring a striking composition, with the sun rays caught in gas jets providing not only an appealing poetic touch, but also a useful backdrop over which the full silhouette of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko can be read. The presence of shadows and lightened areas is also useful both to herald the shape of the body, but also to show the lightening conditions to which the comet is exposed. Overall, an image combining rare esthetic and didactic qualities, and a fine example of an international organisation publishing documents under a Free licence. -- Rama (talk) 06:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Oppose I don't see how this can be FP. We already have File:Comet 67P on 19 September 2014 NavCam mosaic.jpg, much bigger. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:36, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Comment and bigger is better? these are different images: angle of view, composition, content --93.144.76.103 04:32, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
